Another step ...

... in the right direction:

The $1 that Andrew Rutherford was awarded after he successfully sued Seattle police for holding him at gunpoint too long will wind up costing the city more than $423,000.

So ... violating civil rights' does have consequences.

I'm also heartened that he originally sought a judgment in the millions, not the piddly 5 figures these open-carriers are asking for. I'm also heartened that the judge (female, no less) over-rode the jury's lack of a monetary award (maybe caused by a misunderstood instruction?). All in all, good job.
