The now famous Tulia
drug-bust. Almost five years later, and they're still paying through the nose for the reckless actions of one idiot cop:
A $5 million settlement for Tulia residents targeted in a now-discredited drug bust many said was racially motivated will also end the narcotics task force that ran the sting, an attorney for the plaintiffs says.
Considering this has already cost Swisher county $250,000, I would hope that the $5Million would get someone's attention that the idiotic war on drugs is in dire need of a cease fire.
