Have you already forgotten the cuffing, head banging, the knee to the back? That was the assault.

The headbanging and the knee to the back are what the plaintiff claims.

I'm sure there is another side to the story - a side which may be potentially less lucrative for the plaintiff.

The cuffing is part of a stop-and-hold which may or may not be for probable cause.

Um, a cuffing is an arrest (he's not free to leave). Probable cause is the lowest standard under which an arrest may be made.

You mean the victim? Since the assault caused a heart attack, it’s not hard to believe the victim in this case.
