Reply to comment by SexyEdMeese in NYPD is Illegally Sending People to Rikers Without Ever Seeing a Judge, Lawsuit Claims by psychothumbs

I could imagine the facts alleged being true in part, even in large part. But there’s no document in the world less impartial than a complaint. Need to hear from the other side.

Yes, the defendant is the other side.

I don’t think I’m telling anybody they’re wrong.

There’s video, photo, and paper evidence of what’s alleged in the complaint that’s the subject of this thread?

Is that in the article? If so, I missed it. And also if so, I haven’t seen any of that evidence.

Look, I’m not going to tell you that what you went through didn’t happen or wasn’t so bad or was justified. That’s not my place and I have no reason to doubt you. I’m sorry it happened. It sounds awful.

But if you filed a lawsuit against the NYPD—which maybe you should consider, if you haven’t already considered it—I would say exactly what I said about this lawsuit: that I have no specific reason to doubt the allegations and, and I could certainly see the allegations being true in whole or in part, but I would still want to hear the other side.

Some plaintiffs’ lawyers—many of them—will publicize any case. The goal is to create pressure for a settlement.
