But for the video…

I think a jury would clearly see that he manufactured a story/evidence to put an innocent man in jail.

What's the motive? There's only one guy connected at all to the summons. The rest are disinterested witnesses.

The nephew's original excessive force suit stemmed from this incident:

"Each man has been charged with armed robbery, three counts each of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, dangerous use of a weapon, resisting arrest and aggravated destruction of a highway."

What nephew?

To frame Dendinger.

What nephew?

The one Dendinger was serving the summons for.

And yet, I get this funny feeling that the Warriors will, once again, end up with egg covered faces.

Who/what are you talking about?

Among Dendinger's seven accusers, four of them were defendants in Logan Mills'(Dendinger's nephew) civil suit for excessive force.

Oh, never saw anything about that.

I guess that could provide motivation.

They went berserk after they realized what the papers were and who was serving them?

 

[GrouchoMarxist]

I believe that's the general thrust of the complaint.

 

[Upchurch]

well, it is if "went berserk" means to conspire to file false police reports and purger themselves in a revenge/intimidation gambit.

Assuming it's all true, of course.

That makes more sense. I didn't realize that bit. Small world, that the gang happened to be there all at once.

This would be the berserk part, if true.

“It was like sticking a stick in a bee’s nest.” Dendinger, 47, recalled. “They started cursing me. They threw the summons at me. Right at my face, but it fell short. Vulgarities. I just didn’t know what to think. I was a little shocked.”

Guy serves a paper on a cop.

It goes crashing downhill for him from that point on.
...

The original news account has more detail. Dendinger's lawyer asks the obvious question:

Kaplan also points out what he thinks should be obvious: "If this was truly a battery on a police officer with police officers all around him, why isn't something happening right there? Why aren't they arresting him on the spot? This case is an abuse of power."

But they took time to get their stories together and then go to his house to arrest him.

Seems to me that Logan Mills and family also had a strong motive to manufacture something, and we shouldn't forget that we're mostly getting only one side of the story for now.

Huh? Exactly what do you think was "manufactured", other than by the cops and prosecutors? That the guy was arrested? The video? The endless lying?

Seriously, you need to change your avatar. Barney was WAY smarter than that.
