A Florida jury has awarded four dollars for funeral expenses and pain and suffering to the family of a man killed by police.
In 2014, 30-year-old Gregory Hill Jr was fatally shot at his home in Florida by St. Lucie County Deputy Christopher Newman, CNN reports. Newman and another deputy responded to a noise complaint made by parents picking their children up at the school across the street. The deputies first knocked on the front to no answer.
According to reports, the deputies knocked on Hill’s garage door but as he opened the door and saw it was police he tried to close it. However, Newman opened fire, hitting Hill three times, including a shot to the head, claiming he fired his weapon because he saw Hill with a gun.
While charges were never filed against Newman, back in 2016, Viola Bryant, Hill’s mother, filed a lawsuit against the Newman, claiming he violated her son’s 14th and 15th Amendment rights.
However, last week the jury on the case ruled that Newman was not liable for Hill’s death. The jury awarded Bryant one dollar for funeral expenses and one dollar to each of his children.
The decision was called out by the family’s attorney John Phillips. “A black child's pain is only worth a dollar is exactly the problem with the plight of the African-American right now. This says, black lives don't matter,” he said.

While a lot of these cases can seem quite unnecessarily one sided in their blame of police officers, this one lies mostly on the fault of the officer. I mean how the f*ck did he somehow gain x ray vision to determine Hill's gun was in hand. Granted, Mr Hill certainly shouldn't have closed his door. I suppose fear overcame him and he acted irrationally, not to mention he was heavily intoxicated. A better rationally calm thinking officer however would've prevented this entire thing to begin with.

So your main gripe with this story is that the OP cited CNN and not that an African American was unjustly murdered and the family only got $4 from the lawsuit to pay his funeral cost?
Again showing your bias. Showing that only care when it involves black people, wether it be a Bbq dispute or a Judge awarding $4 to the family of a man who was apparently killed back in 2014, you show up like a fly. But when i show you the recent racial killing of a police officer, a white woman, that wasn't important enough and worth discussing.

For anyone else wondering: #15

Whether you think the officer is wrong liable for Hills WRONGFUL death is one thing but giving the his wife and four children $4.00 to bury him is another. Your right, the officer may have not known where is gun was but the fact of the matter is that he didn’t deserve to die becuase of that mistake (if true). The least the state of Florida could’ve done was pay for a funeral.

Whenever there is a topic about a black person being victimized, you immediately try to discredit the story by posting another of how a black person is a criminal and how a white person is victimized by them. I don't do what you do. What you do is racist.

For anyone else wondering:

You can't stand the idea that black people can be victims as well.
There you have it.

I posted a link of something important that nobody was talking about and you completely ignored it because it was a white woman and went directly to doing the same thing you're doing now. By your own definition you're a racist.

You're trying this again?

You already made yourself look like a clown here by purposely using what i said out of context to paint me as a Nazi:

Probably because you post stories of black people attacking white people on threads that have nothing to do with the your story.

They don't deserve any money for his death. This is tragic tho. The current trend is get to a payday by exploiting the deaths of young and old black men who die by the hands of the police. Usually the mother gets a nice settlement.

Blacklivesmatter is a feminist and lgbt organization...ppl don't have no respect for these black males. All people care about is money. This man deserves respect.

They can try emotional distress with the judicial system.

How many times are you gonna make me say it? All it takes is one click. The General Discussion Forum is filled with your bs. I don't make threads whinning about black people, Donald Trump, or whites. Anyone can do the research and make up their own conclusions.

Keep deflecting.

Yeah I hate the hypocrisy when ppl try to sweep those kinds of stories under the rug. History and Politics is all about narrative.

I seen comments with silly niggas trying to make excuses for the young men who killed her. He deserves what he will get. I blame the parents.

It seems Baltimore country was trying to do a catch and release. But I wonder why she was riding solo without backup. This should serve as a warning..to avoid future scenarios like this

No, you just go on threads and whine about black people, antifa, muslims, how Neo-Nazis are being victimized, and how there's an anti-white agenda.
