Two women shot by out of control cops during Dorner manhunt get $4.2 million settlement...

Good for them. So, what happened to the out of control cops who used two women delivering newspapers for target practice? 

Via LA Times:

A settlement has been reached with two women mistakenly shot by Los Angeles police during the manhunt for fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner, Los Angeles City Atty. Carmen Trutanich announced Tuesday.

Details of the deal were not released; a statement from Trutanich's office said they would be made available at a 2 p.m. news conference.

Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, were delivering newspapers in Torrance on Feb. 7 when LAPD officers fired repeatedly on their blue Toyota Tacoma. Hernandez was shot twice in the back, and Carranza was injured by broken glass, an attorney for the women said.

Demos Cutting Food for Infants and Children to Pay for Black Farmer Settlement

Well, infants and children can't vote and blacks are a very important Democratic Party demographic...

The Pigford II settlement is rife with fraud. There are more people claiming discrimination that there are black farmers.

USDA employees and FBI officials estimate that the number of fraudulent claims range from 50 percent to 95 percent.

(Big Gov’t)- Congress is rushing through its lame duck session to finally appropriate funds to pay out claims from the Pigford II settlement. The settlement is meant to clear up claims from black farmers who claim discrimination from USDA and also missed out on the first settlement.

The legislation sets aside $1.5 billion to pay these claims. The legislation also makes cuts in other federal programs to “pay for” the new spending. Among the cuts are $500 million for nutrition programs for women, infants and children.

From the Senate language:
