Its the taxpayers who will pay

'cause it was their employees who did the deed.

Seems that the po-po (5-0 if you are an inner city yoot) in Henderson, Nevada got pissy when a homeowner chose not to knuckle under to demands cooperate with police request to occupy his home for surveillance of a neighbor's property.

Me, I think (if found guilty) that the officers in this incident, with ANY participation, and the supervisors up to and including the chief should be liable for damages. And barred from ever being in any position of authority over any citizens again (maybe not even dogs either).

But likely these stormtroopers police will get, at best, a reprimand and the citizens of Henderson will pay a hefty settlement.  And these bad examples will continue to patrol the community.
