So maybe you can't tax your way out of every fiscal landmine.

Santa Monica is paying dearly because of the evil dirty deeds of their police dispatcher that were carried out over a period of two decades.

The city has already paid a staggering 229 million to victims with another 180 still yet seeking compenstation.

How does a sicko like this guy go 20 plus years abusing little boys and no one raises a hand? His favorite choice, poor Latino boys, likely had families living in fear of reporting due to being illegal.

Of course, the pervert coward offed himself prior to going to trial. He couldn't face being on the receiving end of what he had been giving once he reached prison.

Santa Monica will survive. Surfer boy Newscum will come to their rescue.

"The city’s budget has been strained by a staggering $229 million in settlements related to sexual abuse claims against former police dispatcher Eric Uller, with an additional 180 claimants still seeking compensation. Uller was accused of sexually abusing over 200 children, primarily underprivileged Latino boys, from the 1980s to early 2000s. Arrested in 2018, Uller committed suicide before his trial.
The Los Angeles Times reports:"

Services in Santa Monica are also suffering, according to the report. During the COVID-19 pandemic, city leaders slashed the city’s budget and eliminated hundreds of positions. City services haven’t been restored to pre-pandemic levels, and several capital projects remain unfunded.
"Santa Monica’s recently approved budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year expects expenditures of $484.3 million, but $473.5 million in revenue, according to the Times."


 
A bit like those paedophile priests, pastors etc that get away with abusing little children for decades before being caught I guess. You do wonder how the community around them miss so much?

The Santa Monica pervert went after the underprivileged. He’s a special kind of pedophile.
 
I don't understand why cities and towns pay for settlements against crooked cops. If you want to reduce cop crime, take the money from their retirements funds and pension plans. Then the cops will police each other.

I would have thought cities had insurance policies to cover things like this.

Because the perps were pubic employees.

How much policing do you expect retired cops to do?

All sexual predators - and I mean every single one - go after vulnerable targets they believe that they can exploit. It's possible that in some cases the officer knew the status of the victims and their families, but more likely than not, he used his standing and power as a uniformed officer of the law. He (probably) chose his victims based on proximity, not so much their status.

You think insurance policies are free? You think premiums don't go....

Never mind. The post is too stupid to be real.

If this happened in Valdosta Ga. would you have started a thread on it?
 
1) NOW you care about "Latino boys"?

2) But when leftists say "Defund the police" we're the ****ing crazy ones, right? People like you are totally content to have cities continue to pay out massive settlements at taxpayer expense to keep our broken (or working perfectly, depending on how you look at it) policing system ongoing.

I'm going with against contractual agreements.

Valdosta doesn't have an ample supply of poor latino boys. The perverts victim of choice

Have you been there? There are LOTS of poor latino boys in Valdosta

Again I ask, hoping to not have an irrelevant distraction as a rebuttal this time: If this happened in Valdosta Ga. Would you have started a thread on it?

P.S. what defines "an ample supply of poor latino boys?" That sounds super creepy from my vantage point <shrug>
