buyers market
Court-ordered respect is still a buyer's market
Two Portland, Ore., women have decided that $50,000 each is fair compensation for being forced to show a cop their underwear during a traffic stop in 2006. The cop was convicted and has resigned, but do Portland taxpayers realize how many months strippers have to work, night after night, showing far more than their underwear, to make $50,000? (Also this week, Edith Freemon got a second life in her lawsuit against a Nashville restaurant that she knew, and maybe everyone in Nashville knew, specialized in customers' throwing peanut shells on the floor. Yes, Clumsy Edith fell down, and sued, and the state appeals judges said she is entitled to her day in court.) KATU-TV (Portland) /// The Tennessean

$50k?? Yo! Portland! I'll show you mine for $5k. Deal?
Peanut shells on the floor!?! What, nobody's got a broom in Nashville? I guess the judge will be wanting a BIG tip when this is all over.
First time I ran into this was back in the late 60's in Rome across from the Colosseum so nuttin' new here.

We have a restaurant here where you throw peanut shells on the floor. I certainly doesn't make the floor slippery. If anything it seems to give you more traction.

I can't believe this nut is going to force the restaurant to shell out some money for her clumsiness.

I don't get why anyone would be upset about that. Seriously, all I have to do is show you a little something and you wont give me a ticket? Really? Here you go! Have a nice day, good bye.

I still haven't quite figured out why the city is paying for the cop's <strike>obsession<\strike> digression from duty or was this a procedure from the police handbook?
