For $500?!??? Aside from the fact that this seems morally bankrupt to be, they seriously thought $500 was worth all of the inevitable backlash?? This is just baffling to me. And frankly, I don't think the family of anyone shot by police should have to pay for the ambulance, but particularly given the details of this case it's just sick.

Even the police union who supported the officer involved in the shooting said the bill was heartless.

@MrsSCB: It's disgusting no matter the amount but I had the same thought...$500?...seriously??

It's so outrageous that it makes me wonder if it was done purposely to incite further outrage about the lack of indictment.

@lawbee11: Exactly! No amount would be worth it, but seriously $500 is like pocket change for the city. Even more insulting and ridiculous.

This makes me so sad and so angry, especially since I live in the Cleveland area.
Just one more ridiculous thing to add to the list...

Whoever didn't catch this is a real idiot. But my guess is there wasn't a conscious decision made where someone said "yes, we the city NEED this $500 from the family of a 12 year old shot and killed by one of our officers". It was probably part of a larger mailing would be my guess. But how does someone working in that city not recognize the name and flag it to be pulled??
