The guy should realize that he has suddenly developed terrible headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, cold sweats and every other conceivable symptom of PTSD, which have cost him his job, his girlfriend, perhaps his house—’cause the payment is overdue—and by and large his way of life.
I’d go in asking for five mill and watch the city’s attorneys scramble to negotiate. A civil jury is going to want to make those dumb bastards pay.
All he wants is an apology from the deputies who said he’s “lucky” they didn’t shoot him. Sadly, police rarely apologize, as that is construed as admission of guilt.
If I happen to get on that jury, yes.
