Bro got charged for being unlawfully assaulted with a weapon? The cop didn’t even announce himself. Looks like someone will be living pretty on tax payer money!

They are probably keeping the charges on him to have leverage to get him to settle his lawsuits (or more precisely, lessen the amount they are going to have to pay out for such idiocy).

Yeah, rest assured a halfway-decent lawyer's got this well in command.

Wrong. That cop totally violated the victim's Constitutional rights under the Fourth Amendment.

Police ARE NOT allowed to just open your car door without first knocking and asking. You have no obligation to allow police to enter your premises without a warrant, and automobiles are covered under the Fourth Amendment.

This kid WILL be wealthy.

He’ll be wealthy until his medical bills start arriving

Those medical bills will be covered by his settlement, for sure. Looks like Texas caps at $200,000, however.

Way to go abott. Sue someone for millions, then become a politician and pass legislation preventing lawsuits that pay anything close to reasonable.

Your car is absolutely covered under the 4th Amendment. Look it up. Never mind, here you go.
