  Bullies take special pleasure in inflicting humiliation on people who can't defend themselves. Forcing an amputee to hop barefoot while wearing handcuffs is deliberate humiliation.

  That was cruel and unusual punishment. Violation of ADA. These officers should be removed.

  Do this to one of the judges and they would want millions in damages.  Hypocrisy,  bias, corrupt, self serving defines our court systems.

  basically the states lawyer doesn't want to put a price on the criminal act of the guards

  Humiliation rituals are torture.  The prison should pay more than $500k, not less.

  That was torture. Plain and simple. The award is a deterrent.

  So he had a prosthetic leg, but they did not allow him to put it on? And he had a wheelchair, but they did not allow him to use the wheelchair? Those guards are just 100% abusive and corrupt.

  And yet the organization lawyer argues at the end that torturing somebody to the point of exhaustion is not a physical or substantial psychological injury

  When does cruelty become torture, 10 hops? Why couldn't they search his wheelchair if they thought it had a weapon?

  🤔<br>So a jury of the people award a judgment against a person who works for the government.<br>Then three people who also work for the government decide that the jury of the people were not smart enough to know what they were doing and awarded too much…🤦🏻‍♂️<br>What a joke of a system. How about they set a precedent so that this 💩 stops happening!
