Why not? They disrupt someone's life by not investigating the case good enough, so yeah you have to pay for destroying someone's life.

There is no amount of money that can make up for the amount of time they have lost. But monetary compensation can help atone for the loss of income, loss of opportunity, and loss of education. It is also a way of apologizing for the wrongs this person has needlessly suffered and help for a new start

This poor man's case is the exact reason why police should be made to carry malpractice insurance. The great state of Missouri took something from this man that he will never get back and that is time.

I also believe anyone that willfully participated in a wrongful conviction, should serve the sentence that individual was given, in full.

Man tell it, I didn't think of it like that but you're correct if you think of all the damage that's really caused the cost of board. The only logical way to stave off bad policing is the balance the consequences.

Progressives, which make up the bulk of the city council, have no idea as to how to reduce crime. They will try and "ride out" this murder of the Stephens student and go back to Ignore, Avoid, Delay with their task forces and failed social programs.

You're joking, right?

The alumni are the ones who donate large sums for things like new stadiums. They are the ones who create this college culture of downtown bars by influencing University leadership and the Alumni Associations. A bunch of UM grads work in state government. Ban them, problem solved.

They are clueless. They will never hold the parents responsible because it will go against their identity politics. Start holding the parents accountable. Or at least get these kids to families who see the as blessings and not as income. Stop protecting horrible parents. Use common sense.

Start by banning taxpayer funded state employees from attending college athletic events at UM. Ban those collegiate license plates that DOR offers for a donation to the University. Ban companies from hiring UM graduates. Start stalking and doxxing state employees who are UM grads. Problem solved.
