East Baton Rouge taxpayers doled out $350k for police-caused crashes over past 2 years

doled out $350k

How much did the taxpayers dole out for the majority of the population that are not net taxpayers?

Does 350k even cover potentially a single corrupt government employee that is a drain?

Already there without a fatties EBT trip to Walmart

"They told me, 'don't record,' and I told them I can do what I want," the neighbor said.

I wonder if the neighbor got the speech about how one shouldn’t ‘undermine the officer’s authority’

quote:

"There were 20 to 25 of them out here yesterday," another neighbor said. "Conspiring in a circle talking. No one getting down. Everyone want you to lie saying the police didn't run the stop sign. Yes he did. Yes he did. Yes he did."

"They don't care," a neighbor said. "Our neighborhood, we live in a combat zone. If people want to smoke weed, that's their business... why would he run behind one person and jeopardize everyone else? He didn't give a damn."

When cops are chasing a suspect do they not put on lights and siren. When that happens and you can finally see where sirens are coming from I try to get of the way and don’t cross intersections until they pass. That’s usually a legal requirement where I have usually lived. Cops have to do better at making sure cars are getting out of the way, staying clear of intersections being crossed, and directing additional cars to cut suspects off versus pursue.


I have no clue about demographics around this intersection and just commenting on north Baton Rouge in general below.

If north Baton Rouge cared about anything besides when cops involve maybe they wouldn’t live in a self described combat zone. They also have to do better and not support the people doing the crap where they live.

Almost everything said about cops could be self directed to north Baton Rouge residents - conspiring in groups to avoid pointing finger at those doing wrong in community, actually lie to cops saying they didn’t see anything, saying the the original driver being chased didn’t do anything wrong outside wanting to smoke weed and I guess drive while smoking it (smoke weed wasn’t mentioned on original article at this wreck so person knows something news didn’t or is just making it up), not caring about the crap going on in neighborhood unless cops or another group can be blamed, and constantly allowing those didn’t do nothings to jeopardize everyone else in neighborhood.

Start pointing those cameras at those in community and share the criminal behavior with the cops. They constantly bring out cameras to film everything but somehow miss the shite where they live when perps look like them.

I also wonder what the racial break down is with all these payments along with break down of neck braces worn by victims afterwards…

That's nothing over 2 years for personal injury settlements.

Is there not an insurance company that will handle municipal?

The Parish Attorney’s office has a well documented history of throwing cash at the slightest litigation before even considering making an argument to defend the actions of the Baton Rouge Police.

I have seen it first hand countless times.

One of the best ones I saw first hand involved the current commander of K9. He borrowed my marked unit one night since his was in the shop. To date how long ago this was, it was a fairly new marked crown Vic.

On the exit ramp to Evangeline Street, he tapped the rear of a good times van that was stopped waiting to make the turn into Evangeline.

Hardly any impact. Only damage was a cracked fiberglass spare tire cover on the rear of the van from the push bumper. No injury complaints. Report filed

A year later, I’m sitting on the 3rd floor outside the council chambers waiting for a meeting to start when I pull a paper copy of the upcoming council agenda from a tray next to the elevators. While scanning it, I noticed a $70k settlement involving the driver of that van.

Called the now k9 commander to ask if he had ever been disposed or contacted by the parish attorney and he said he had not.

Just so happened to be sitting next to the then police chief, (Englade), and asked if he was aware of that and he said he wasn’t. After explaining the details of the crash and that the officer involved hadn’t been contacted by anyone, he was livid. He said the parish attorney was suppose to contact him on any settlements over $10k to discuss with him.

Apparently the biggest claim by the driver was loss of consortium from this MINOR fender bender and the parish attorney went right along with it. The listed attorney was a well known billboard attorney at the time who ended up running for mayor

So that settlement game has been going on for decades.

THIS is what Nakamoto chose to "chase down", one day after the largest scandal to come out of the Mayor's office in 20 years occurred, re: lying about a federal NDA.

Nakamoto never chased down the fact that Murphy Paul spent MORE than that $350k the last 2 years on lawyers, defending his disciplinary actions against officers, who almost always win once the issues get to court.

Please re-read my first paragraph. Nakamoto is unable to cover true scandals within the Broome admin.

Hey Chris, you know it's true. And I also know you are looking for employment outside of WBRZ. Is it because you are tired of the news business, or because you are sick to your stomach of what you've become?
