After police refused to hold their own accountable, Longnecker’s family sought justice and sued the police department.
After several years in court, it was announced this week that the state of Pennsylvania will pay $475 000 to the Longnecker estate — an insultingly small amount considering a man was crushed to death by cops in a bulldozer for growing a dagga plant that is legal in many US states.
