Hope he wins the lawsuit.. From what the article states, it sounds like Isiah Brown was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher at the time the police came by. They thought his phone was a gun, and shot him up to 10 times (guessing a couple missed maybe?). He survived the shooting and is suing the police station responsible, for $26 million.

That's excessive force if anything. He was shot 8 times. Who would need to be shot 8 times to be taken down? It's so confusing to me. And on top of this all, the police found that the shooting wasn't justified, in fact, Isiah Brown was in the right.

I hope he wins. I think when you have clear cut cases like this, it should be an easy win.
