3. Unnecessary and barbaric

This is the most damning part

At the hospital, unconscious and near death, the paramedics and officers who were with Moses lied to doctors about how he got hurt, the lawsuit alleges.

“In response to repeated questions by the emergency medical team about Mr. Moses’s injuries and the cause, Denver police officials and paramedics repeatedly falsely stated that Moses had not experienced ‘direct trauma,'” the lawsuit alleges.

The cover-up always tells you that they knew they were wrong for doing it. But rather than give the doctors the information they needed to provide good treatment, they tried to cover their own asses.

Financial penalties are only a start. Jail time is warranted for that kind of abuse.
