MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX) - A Vermont man arrested in 2018 for allegedly flipping off a trooper has settled a lawsuit against the Vermont State Police.

In a lawsuit later filed by the ACLU, the group says that after he was detained and questioned, Bombard cursed and did give the trooper the finger. The trooper arrested him for disorderly conduct, a charge that was dismissed a year later.

Literally just watched this interaction on Audit the Audit. Highly recommend youtube channel.

Someone has to keep the pigs honest.

That someone must be doing a terrible job.

Wait, aren't the pigs who are supposed to be doing that

Yea, quacks and money changers also regulate themselves... how well is that going for us?
