I understand its on the AP wire now.

24,000,000 budget
15,000 payout.
If I were making $12/hr or 24,000 annually, that would be like being penalized $15. How much of an effect on my behavior is a penalty equal to a large two-topping pizza gonna have?
My apologies if I sound bitter, it's STILL a Win for our side.

Is there a admission of wrong doing for the officer employing lethal force on a citizen engaged in a lawful activity? What were the consequences? Where there consequences?
You were following the law. It seems that being nicer is/was the goal even though the interactions continue. I do not know the circumstances surrounding these several encounters but encounters continue. So, is nicer better or is not being encountered better.

OC for Me: If you are out and about, and not sitting behind a computer screen, you do run into people, including cops. Saying hi, chatting and moving on isn't a really bad thing. MOST OF THE TIME!!...

Red Dawg: your back-handed insult is noted. Your comment is not addressing my question(s).
However, I will indulge you.
No information has been provided on sanctions, if any, against the officer who employed lethal force against MSG Laigaie, unjustifiably it seems or there would have been no settlement. MSG Laigaie has no obligation to answer this question. He (we) may never know if any sanctions were levied against that cop.
MSG Laigaie also stated that he has had several encounters, I presume since "the incident" that were, as MSG Laigaie describes, positive encounters.
I maintain, and have always maintained, it is that a encounter should not happen. Cops do not normally initiate encounters with apparently unarmed citizens. What are the circumstance surrounding these "several" encounters that MSG Laigaie has experienced. What is it that the cop thought required a encounter with MSG Laigaie?
Is the objective of MSG Laigaie's civil action to be sure that encounters are nicer, or is the objective to have cops treat a visibly armed citizen in the same manner they seem to treat visibly unarmed citizens.
What good is training if the encounters continue?

Gun rights win in Bellingham, Mill Creek and Pierce County
Evergreen State gun owners have three things to cheer about this morning, starting with last night’s vote by the Pierce County Council to approve a range protection measure, pending final approval of the Department of Ecology.

We need range protection in Kitsap County.
I watched Kiro 7 at 11, didn't see this story. Is there a link online somewhere?

Back to SVG's case, since the City didn't follow through with their end of the bargain what are the chances of a Civil Suit being successful. In a "settlement agreement" don't BOTH sides have to follow through?
"Kicking them while they're down" might not be that appealing to some but it sure could send a loud, clear message, to other cities in the State like Spokane, Vancouver, and Seattle (although Seattle's gonads are in the vise now with the Federal Oversight).
