Go steal from a church, then just kinda hang out and wait for the police to arrive. When they do, flash a shiny crucifix at em so they think it's a gun and shoot you, then sue for a million dollars. Of course, you'll never walk again but hey, you gotta give up something for the million dollars. Funny country we live in.

Church Thief Shot by Calif. Cop Awarded $1.2M
OAKLAND, Calif. ? A San Francisco Bay Area city will pay $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by a burglary suspect who was left a paraplegic after being shot by a police officer.
The Oakland City Council approved the payment to Charles Davis Jr. during a closed session Tuesday night.
Davis was suspected of burglarizing a church in 2007 when he was shot by the Oakland officer. Though Davis was unarmed, the officer said he mistook items that Davis was stealing from the church for a gun.
Rick Simons, Davis' attorney, says the money will be used the help the 49-year-old Davis with the "basic needs" of living as a paraplegic.
The settlement comes after the council voted on Sept. 22 to approve a $1.5 settlement payment to the family of a 20-year-old man shot and killed by an Oakland police officer in 2007.
