The truth is always somewhere in the middle. I seriously doubt they kept him cuffed and interrogated for 10 hours. But, even if it were half that, any interrogation on the part of the police is excessive. And why cuff a 7 year old? Please don't say officer safety.
I think the parents shouldn't be able to sue for that much. The NYPD has been excessive in the past, and none of those people got that much money (how much money did the guy they shoved a plunger handle in his ass get?) Damages should be awarded, if anything to punish the department for being excessive, but 250 mil?

Plunger is his ass? Ouch and yeah they shouldn't treat a 7 year old like that but does the family actually think they're gonna get that much money?

Start high and let them negotiate their way down. Ask for $250m, get $25m, you still win. I'd bet doughnuts to dollars that's exactly what they are thinking. And yes, the NYPD sodomized a man with a plunger handle.
-
$25 million is still a lot in this situation and the plunger thing is just wrong on every level.
-
I just checked, the plunger guy got $5.8m. So, this kid's family should get significantly less. Maybe $25,000 or so. The idea isn't to reward them, its to punish the department for acting like this. The money has to go somewhere, the family is the logical choice. Personally, I'd keep 10% of it and give the rest to an anger management program and require the police use it.
-
25,000 sounds like a good amount and the police do seem like they need anger management. I can only imagine how Detroit police must feel. Crime all over
-
What do you want? $20 for their troubles? It's too bad the kid didn't know his rights, just like so many Americans.

What the hell are you snapping for? How about something reasonable.
