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.

We have to commute to work, approximately 70 miles every day. We fill up once a week, and the cost has risen from an average of $36.50 before the Iran war, to now $55.00 each week. We now have to budget more for gas than we did. And there is still nothing to show for any of this pointless conflic

Im driving about 81.6 miles a day to get my son to daycare and then myself to work. Car averages 21 mpg and requires minimum 91 octane fuel. $70 twice a week plus what my husband spends in fuel for just traveling back and forth to work and home. Keeping son home 2 days from daycare to save on fuel.

While no one enjoys paying more $ gas is cheap for what you get.

I wish puppet Biden did not drain the strategic petroleum reserve in a failed political scheme, much like his unconstitutional student loan forgiveness, to buy votes. The oil pipelines to Canada, that Biden stopped, would be handy about now too. Voting for future Democrats will be very limited.

Trump had just refilled it, after Obama drained it down to nothing.

A new tax is not the answer to the city's budget problems. City leaders need to live within your means, like everyone else. Vote NO on the new taxes.

We already pay enough in taxes. The City needs to check it's priorities and pull funding from programs that truly are not conductive to the day to day lives of the general tax paying citizen. Focus on the core competencies, not liberal dream programs.

Almost as bad an idea as replacing income taxes with higher sales taxes!
