You watch the video and tell me a jury wouldn't award for emotional distress...

If it ever gets to a jury. That's the key issue. If the case gets past the initial pleading stage, then the police department will have no choice but to settle.

City better settle because a jury is going to award them the city budget.

Trust me, the lawyers in this case smell blood and will not let it be settled prior to trial, unless the judiciary is as corrupt as the LEOs in Tennesee, which might be the case.

Then again, the local counsel might try to get this removed to Circuit Court...in which case the family won't see a dime.
