→"Becoming Very Rich": that language had been long since removed by the time you wrote this complaint
BHarlan, in case you didn't read the accounts of the Louima incident at the jailhouse in detail, he was taken to a back room, had his hands cuffed behind his back, and was then repeatedly hit and kicked. He was then sodomized by having a broomstick violently shoved into his rectum, and then shoved into his mouth. The rectal assault caused a torn bladder and intestine, which required several surgeries to repair the damage. He also had several teeth broken when the blood-and-feces-covered broomstick was rammed into his mouth. I find it offensive and against the values of this project to portray this incident as if he suffered a minor inconvenience and was awarded a windfall for his troubles. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 17:32, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

:The article started as a stub. It has since expanded. If you want to help, modify the article to add detail. We are trying to build an encyclopedia here.
:It's not clear how awarding someone 9 million dollars acts as a deterrent. The city did not condone the incident, and large cash awards can encourage people to go through awful injury. If you don't believe me, Google "Vernon Florida".
:I am, of course, not claiming that Louima did this on purpose. My only claim is that cash awards set large precedents. Justice ends up delivered by the taxpayers, who did not injure Louima, rather than by the parties that actually did injure him.
:Most importantly, however, that language had been long since removed by the time you wrote this complaint. Do you have anything constructive to offer, or are you merely here to complain? [[Liberal style]] isn't welcome here. [[User:BHarlan|BHarlan]] 19:35, 22 October 2008 (EDT)
