$22Mil for Man Locked in Closet by Police for four days
 

Jury awards $22 million to man locked in closet by East Cleveland police for four days with no food or toilet

A jury awarded a Maple Heights man $22 million this week for a 2012 traffic stop during which he was punched by an East Cleveland police officer and locked in a storage closet for four days without food, water or access to a toilet.

Arnold Black spent four days alone inside the East Cleveland Police Headquarters, according to a lawsuit decided this week in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, while his family was unable to reach him.

Who was fired for locking him up?

As for the $22 million. will teach them not to do it again.

22 mil are going from whose pocket ?

so 5.5 mil per day.
challenge accepted .

Black was awarded 22 million for being in the closet? Fucked up OP

"The city of East Cleveland told WJW television that the officers named in the suit no longer work at the department"

I would fire a hell of a lot more people than that were it my call

find it very hard to believe that a dude can be held captive for four days inside police headquarters without a bunch of people knowing. have any of y'all ever worked for an org where anyone can keep a secret? :error

for real, anyone working there who knew about this and did nothing is a coward, complicit in the act through their silence and has proven themselves unfit for duty

to serve and protect...

that's a huge amount of money!

I'd live in shit for 4 days for that kind of money for life! OMG :thumbsup

so where is the 22 mil coming from though?

Payment
 

The city will have to write the check. Money comes from the taxes the city imposes as property taxes, sales tax, traffic fines and other revenue sources. Many cities are buying insurance for events like these.

$22 million sounds a bit excessive and may be reduced on appeal. But it sounds like the jury was sending a message to the police department.

it's kinda messed up that property owners there did nothing wrong, but they will be the ones paying for it, so they are the ones getting punished... :helpme

Bullshit!

What they've done wrong is deny that this shit happens for decades and therefore allowed
the problem to grow to the point where juries need to send $22Mil messages to try and get the point across.

what do you think ? The city probably has insurance, but soon as the insurance pays , up go the rates......... then ...... its back to the taxpayers:2 cents:

I'd do it for half that amount

You'd live in shit for 1000$. You live in shit already and don't get much money for it. No one cares if you'd live in shit for 22 million dollars.

$22M i want to be closed in the closet for 4 day tho

I got four days with nothing to do....lock me up! Please!!

The $22 million will just be taken from the city water treatment budget.
