“Once a video of the Dent incident became public, the officer lost his job. He’s now on trial, facing charges of mistreatment of a prisoner. Dent also decided to sue the city of Inkster, Michigan, where the incident occurred. Surprisingly, he won. The city of Inkster settled for $1.4 million. The problem is, Inkster doesn’t just have an extra $1.4 million laying around. So what did the local politicians do? They decided to raise property taxes. A local media source estimates the new property tax will amount to about $179 on a home valued at about $55,400. Now that doesn’t sound like a lot. But consider that the median income in Inkster is just $26,500 and that 40% of its people live below the poverty line.”
