4. Good, I am glad as the 'internal' investigation into those two attempted murders did nothing

to bring the perpetrators to justice. More covering up of criminals in the department is all we seem to get.

I was thinking more of the crimes they committed against the people. Against the Constitution, which those attempted murders were a part of. But the people should be able to exercise their 1st Amendment rights in this country without fear of being murdered by the civil servants whose salaries they pay.

Such a lawsuit, maybe on a national level, would, at the very least, shine a light on what is happening to the Constitutional rights of the people.

Not so much to extract money from the Government, but to bring these crimes against the people onto the national stage, to force a conversation about the militarization of the police, to dig into who was behind the brutality, and to find out finally if the American people really WANT a democracy, or if they are happy to live in a country where you can be falsely arrested and beaten to near death simply for assuming you had a right granted in the Constitution.
