The settlement was a slap on the wrist. Several administrative heads should've rolled. Pike should have been subjected to criminal charges.
As for the usual bigots going out of their way to dismiss demonstrators, that just comes with the territory.
I see nothing in the settlement which has any significant chance of discouraging similar police brutality in the future. Egregious violation of free speech rights will continue to be treated as a cost-of-business type expense.
