Just remember: this is a lawsuit story -- you should know by now never to trust the details related by the plaintiff's lawyer, especially when there's big bucks at stake.
IF what this guy says happened, really did happen, and IF there aren't a few other inconvenient facts that haven't been provided in this article, then maybe we can start talking about what should happen to the cops.
You are wasting your time writing to the foaming at the mouth pavlovian response types. Media says bad cop, they go beserk regardless of the facts or the lack of facts. Happens every week.
