Case filed and assigned to a court already. Jury trial requested. A follow-up post on the result can be helpful, probably 6 months from now unless a plea is entered quickly.

Did he have an assistance dog for the cops to shoot? If not, I can understand why they had to beat him up.
Interesting. If I had to spell it I would spelled it “wailed”.
Maybe, but not for filming cops.
Every department needs to update cops on First and Fourth Amendment Rights and keep their cops from doing stupid stuff like that.
Besides, if they’re not doing anything wrong, what do they have to worry about?
There’s a scene in this movie “Eagle vs. Shark” where a guy returns back home to have a showdown fight with the bully who beat him up when he was a kid. When the day comes for the big fight, the bully shows up in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. Instead of cancelling the fight, they end up going at it anyway, and it is pretty hilarious.
Haha. Oh sure, when I witness possible police misconduct, my first thought is to report that to... the police.
I'm certain they both claimed the plaintiff kicked them.
Know what the difference is between a Chicago-area cop and a gangbanger?
The uniform.
You got proff they diddn’t act as charged? I bet it’s on tape...
Cops are a tad different than when you were twenty.
With homeland inSecurity training and changes in the culture, they are off the rails and need their a$$e$ kicked. They are going to get it, too.
Unfortunately some innocent cops are going to suffer with the bad ones. But that is because the good guys won’t stand up against the bad ones anymore and get back in line with the constitution.
Do you have proof that the guy with the phone camera was doing anything wrong? You seem a tad bit oversensitive.
LOL ... thanks ... funniest post I’ve read in a long time.
You DU trolls never cease to amaze me.
