Activists Awarded Millions In Suit Against Police, FBI

OAKLAND -- Two Earth First! activists have been awarded approximately $4.4 million by a federal jury in their suit against Oakland police and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents.
The verdicts and awards from civil juries stopped meaning anything to me when they blamed McDonalds for a lady spilling coffee on her lap, and thus awarded her millions (though the award was greatly reduced on appeal).

Still, I continue to be amazed by police officers who feel compelled to manufacture evidence. The implication here is that someone attempted to murder two people, and that someone is still out and about.
