Hey, the petiiton is ready to go.
Here's the thing, in the wake of Seattle's 2020 protests one of the supposed BIG win's was WA's Karen Law.
The only problem is that a Karen still spends nothing calling the cops and ANY single cop interaction with a false basis could be deadly.
The legislature reocgnized this be making Karen's liable for police mistakes.
But shouldn't the STATE also be liable for cop violence?

"A person may bring a civil action for damages against any person who knowingly causes...." Where the WA Karen Law goes wrong is in that phrase "a person may file" which ends up meaning a person needs to spend time and likely "treasure" to navigate the courts. Since this law is also so new, legal firms don't know how to navigate this process yet. This basically means in WA a victim of a Karen needs to be a legal pioneer to use this law presently https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=4.24.345 #KarenLaw #WA #PNW
