    Because thats not a lawsuit you win. The fact that law enforcement can arrest you on almost nothing is a feature of the system not a bug. They can cuff you for no reason and as soon as your in cuffs you’re presumed to be a danger and guilty, as policy. They’re not a court they have no obligation to assume anyone is innocent.

      If it was proven he was subjected to cruel and unusual punishment while incarcerated, you absolutely can sue for that and you can win.
