A jury has returned a $1.2 million verdict in a lawsuit that accused a New
York City cop of manhandling a prominent cancer doctor before she clipped
him with her car.

Dr. Rachel Wellner, 43, had sued the NYPD, claiming she was the victim of
excessive force during a 2016 traffic stop that ended with her arrest on
charges of injuring the officer, the New York Post reported Friday.

The breast cancer surgeon became a tabloid villain after telling cops
during the incident: “I’m the hero; the cops are not.”

Breast cancer surgeon Dr. Rachel Wellner was awarded $1.2 million in a
federal lawsuit that accused a New York City cop of manhandling her after
she clipped him with her car.

The cop she was accused of injuring, Officer Niguel Vega, testified in the
lawsuit that he had come into physical contact with Wellner, according to
the paper.

It wasn’t immediately clear how the jury determined Vega had used
excessive force or why she was awarded $1.2 million, the Post reported.

Wellner was seeking $30 million in damages.

“We’re just happy they were able to see through the lies and deception of
the police and were able to get to the truth of the matter,” Wellner’s
lawyer, Jon Norinsberg, said.

After her arrest, Wellner pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a
violation, and served a sentence of 10 days of community service picking
up trash for the New York City Parks Department, the paper reported.

A lawsuit Wellner filed against a Bronx hospital for firing her after her
arrest is pending, according to the paper.

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
