On October 26, 2022, the judge ruled that Walden's contact with Land should have ended when it became clear that Land was not sleeping in the park or in need of assistance, and that the city was not responsible for Walden's actions.

On November 22, 2022, the city settled the lawsuit for $30,000.

Right, but that's not the exchange. He got your tax money AND the cops bought more guns.

Well, in theory, the mayor or whoever has jurisdiction pays a political price.

If the voter base is happy with the way whoever is running things then maybe paying that 30k isn't a big problem.

The sheriff in the county I’m from committed blatant fraud using his office but has popular support because he’s against gun regulation and is vehemently racist. So he’s been voted into office time and time again.
