Clearly a civil rights violation that should result in criminal charges against all officers involved and the city should be sued out of existance.

While I agree that those responsible should absolutely loose their jobs and possibly face charges, I disagree with the presumption that if something bad happens you should get money.
I understand that sometimes money is the only way to get people's attention, but presuming the city is willing to take appropriate action, what is a civil suit going to accomplish?
If people are so traumatized that they need therapy, the City should foot the bill, but it's litigious BS like this that has made medical care unaffordable, and gotten giant warnings stamped into the side of guns.
There's no mysterious pot of magical government money - it's the tax payers in Aurora who are going to wind up having to foot the bill.
IMHO it's a dangerous attitude when people start seeing the government as some entity separate from the people it represents.
Sorry for the rant.
