Just to be clear - I was not questioning your claim, and if you remember, I said earlier in this thread that I had heard the same thing.
I just respectfully asked if you had a link, as in did you have one handy. Personally, I don't give a **** about this law suit. I hope that if the claims of the people doing the suing are correct, that the lawsuit changes things ...
But - the reason I don't give a ****, is because instead of suing for change and bringing charges in criminal court, these people are suing for money, forty million dollars to be exact. I never like suits that ask for millions of dollars when millions of dollars of damage have not been done. If the cops had cut one of their hands or arms or legs off, then maybe. But $40 million of damage have not been done, and to me, this is just greed. If they had sued to get the police officers fired or the department put under some sort of court order to change their tactics, then I may give a ****. But they didn't. They just want money.
Also, I don't think they have a case anyway, based on what I know, as I've said before, not $40 million worth of a case.
