Like Michael Brown, this lawsuit is doomed to fail.
But for some bit of retained training,or luck, Officer Wilson would have been shot.
Not many outside of Ferguson would have ever heard about it.
Not a major news event.
The city will settle. As pointed out a couple posts up, the cost of litigation and the risk of losing is too high.
I read elsewhere that while Wilson is named in the suit he actually isn’t being sued. The Brown’s lawyer is smart, knows Wilson certainly would fight it and would take in a massive amount of donations for a legal defense fund to finance top representation.
