A $50,000 "F-You"

A Pittsburgh man cited in 2006 for giving the middle-finger to a police officer is about to get paid.  According to reports, the City Council tentatively authorized a $50,000 settlement in the case, though a second vote likely to take place next week is needed for final approval.

Wow.  I wonder how many people in Pittsburgh are thinking of flipping off a police officer with the hopes of getting arrested!?
