The Rogue Cop and the Corrupt State Win Again

A few things about this case.

First off, the criminal cop was breaking the law which he himself enforces all day.

Second, the law arbitrarily "limiting" the government's liability to $200,000 per case is a total scam, and of course, the cop doesn't have to pay a dime.

So, this scumbag criminal, after he finished his shift jailing people for crimes like speeding, himself actively broke the very same law he jails people for and hit into a little 12 year old boy who is now going to be paralyzed for life. The 12-yr-old boy will get almost no compensation because the same criminal government illegally limited their own liability for their gangster criminal employees to only $200,000 a case, when obviously the liability for this criminal act should be well into the millions.

Then, in front of the whole public, the officer gets absolutely no penalty at all, is in no way publicly reprimanded, and doesn't have to pay a dime out of his own pocket to the family of the child whose life he just destroyed.

Our government is a gang of pathetic scum criminals. How anyone could stand up and say these people serve any purpose and are anything more than petty gangsters is beyond me. These are the lowest criminal scum in the world, they should be rotting in a jail cell, not running our lives. - Chris, InfoLibSurprise!

“In April 2008, off-duty Officer Jason Cokinos struck 12-year-old Luis Jovel Jr. with his police cruiser as the boy crossed the street in front of his home on Stringtown Road. In a follow-up report, police determined that Cokinos was driving 56 miles per hour in a 30 mph zone and concluded that the boy would not have been hit if the officer were traveling at the speed limit.

The family originally sought millions of dollars from the county and Cokinos, but was entitled to just $200,000 per case, under state law limiting liability for local governments.

Luis, now a quadriplegic, has permanent brain injury and difficulty speaking. The freshman at Clarksburg High School requires around-the-clock medical care for tasks as small as turning or getting ready in the morning. Norma said her husband, Luis Jovel Sr., works as a manager at McDonald’s and doesn’t earn nearly enough money to cover their son’s expenses.”

The moral law and the common law and “the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God” be damned, “Officer” Jason Cokinos is still in uniform doing “community action” work. There is no word as to whether Cokinos ever apologized or even expressed regret that “mistakes were made.” Since there will be no trial, we may never know. [His lawyer once said Cokinos "felt very sorry for what happened." I'm sure he does - after all, he got a speeding ticket.]

In light of this officially-sanctioned travesty, I wonder if the “community” might consider taking some human action of its own?
