I would seek a second opinion from a civil lawyer who does this stuff regularly. It sounds like he has a very good claim and its important that the police's misdeeds be scrutinized and, where necessary, punished as it will make them less likely.

He hates his job and will soon retire. He told me recently that most street cops could not give less of a shit about their jobs. They simply do not do their jobs. They do not stop suspicious people in cars. Do not investigate crimes. Do not return calls from crime victims. Do not do anything. Most cannot write a coherent sentence and thus turn in unusable reports. In general they are a pathetic excuse for a police department. And the Chief, Mr. Reilly, is a complete clueless idiot. Of course he has the full support of our pathetic mayor. I have a friend who is a sergeant on the NOPD. He hates his job and will soon retire.

I know that's a strong statement, but consider: During my years in New Orleans, I've known entirely too many people who were victims of crimes from the seemingly petty to the most severe. For all of those victims, I haven't heard of a single instance in which the cops' involvement remediated the situation one iota--I mean <b>not a damn, single instance.</b> <i>And</i> for every one of those failures by the NOPD, there seems to be an instance of law-biding people (like Xy's colleague) being victimized by them. I <b>fucking hate the NOPD.</b> File this under “Why David isn’t in New Orleans”

The NOPD is no more than a roving gang. I know that’s a strong statement, but consider: During my years in New Orleans, I’ve known entirely too many people who were victims of crimes from the seemingly petty to the most severe. For all of those victims, I haven’t heard of a single instance in which the cops’ involvement remediated the situation one iota–I mean not a damn, single instance. And for every one of those failures by the NOPD, there seems to be an instance of law-biding people (like Xy’s colleague) being victimized by them.

I fucking hate the NOPD.
