So, now is has a dilemma. If the police are defunded as she probably wants, she has no one to sue. Therefore, no money.

What does she do now? LOL

Decisions, decisions!!!

(BTW, that is a cringey video of the accident! :eek)

Don't play in the street...

@taiwan_girl She's suing the state that funds the state patrol. If it were a city police force, she'd sue the city. In either case, she's suing a taxpayer-funded unit of government. I hope she fails to get any financial award or settlement.

It’s my understanding that the police are under no legal obligation to protect you.

Actually the only public servant expected to risk their lives in the line of duty are military. Others, like police or fire fighters, are understood to have jobs that place them in riskier situations, but they are explicitly not expected to make conscious decisions that put their lives at risk in order to save someone else.
