What is the name of your state? IL
A friend of mine was at a nightclub in Sauget, Il while he was on leave from the Air Force. Him and another friend were asked to leave the club, and on their way out, they were confronted by Sauget officers. The guy from the AF said something smart to the cop(s) to the effect of, "you come home from the military and this is how you get treated?" The cops then arrested him for criminal trespass, and struck him several times with a nightstick, giving him a swollen bottom lip and other marks. The ticket says nothing about resisting or being intoxicated, so why would he get hit? Should my friend sue Sauget for assault/battery, excessive force? He has already had a lawyer contact the city of Sauget and the case against my friend has been thrown out.
