Criminal Is Awarded $11 Million After Assaulting Cop

In the moonbat dystopia of New York City, criminal lowlifes have the wind at their back. Society operates on their behalf. Say you’re an unemployed heroin addict with a long rap sheet who drags a police officer with your car. A court might pay you $11 million for it.

Via the New York Post:

A heroin addict with nearly 20 arrests to his name allegedly dragged a cop along a busy Bronx street while fleeing a traffic stop, forcing another lawman to shoot him — and a jury just handed him an $11 million payday…

During “a two-week-long bender” in 2006, Raoul Lopez was pulled over for rolling through a stop sign. After he refused to comply with an order to shut off the engine, officer Zinos Konstantinides reached in for the key. Lopez hit the gas, dragging Konstantinides along busy Grand Concourse.

Another officer shot the maniac in the neck, fearing that his partner would be killed. As a result, Lopez suffers partial paralysis on the right side.

He was lucky to survive his potentially lethal assault on a police officer (for which he was unsurprisingly acquitted). He is even luckier to have committed his crime in the Bronx, where a jury would be likely to reward it generously.

Civilization is not something police can impose. When a society decays so that criminals are no longer the outliers, cops either become criminals themselves or are ineffectual due to lack of support.
