Reading the article there's no where near enough information to make a judgment, if the man was captured while running via tackle from a police officer or a private citizen, I think any reasonable person/judge would not see any excess in that. However if the man was obviously captured, meaning there was no longer any threat of him acting violently or running, than any further injury caused to this person is grounds in my opinion for this lawsuit. Now I don't know if the injuries would be 500,000 dollars worth or whatever else, I'm just saying its grounds to look at it a little more.
Consider this: If any of us were walking down the street and observed three men beating a man on the ground, either restrained or otherwise incapable of self-defense, what would we do? Well odds are we'd do nothing as most people wouldn't, but assuming we did attempt to intervene we'd probably do so on behalf of the man on the ground. If we happened to find out the reason was because he stole a bicycle, would any of us honestly let this continue? I honestly believe that anyone watching three men beat a defenseless man for whatever reason, would have a pretty sick feeling in their stomach, because we know its wrong.
But thats just my general opinion and again no one hear knows enough details to make a truly fair opinion, there's too much speculation here as to what might have happened.
