Man Gets Rewarded For Flipping Off Cop

An Overland Park, Kansas, man who flipped off an Olathe police officer after getting a ticket is getting rewarded for his behavior. The city of Olathe has settled a civil rights complaint filed by Scott Schaper. He was ticketed in September for disorderly conduct for flipping off an officer who had given him a ticket for running a stop sign. The city agreed last week that its insurance company would pay Schaper $4,000, with another $1,000 for the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri. Olathe police will also train its officers that they are required to take such verbal abuse.
