Lawsuit?

[Dirty Socialist]

Is it time to sue Wilson and the Ferguson Police department? Or is it futile?

1. What is the basis of the suit? What remedy would you seek?

2. the cause of action is obvious

Liability for wrongful death does not require criminal culpability.

[Nye Bevan]

3. I fully expect that there will be a civil lawsuit against the police department.

And I also fully expect that it will be settled fairly quickly before trial for an undisclosed amount.

4. The text in the o.p. implies to me that we are all going to bring suit. The family, yes.

The rest of us have no standing.

5. I was implying

That Michael Brown's family and the people of Ferguson might want to sue.

6. A lawsuit is highly likely and should have a good chance of succeeding

7. The color of law statutes very often protect the abusive cops. It's a serious problem, they are

rarely found at fault.

It's disgusting.
