Even if the family of the dead man wants $$$ from Marion County, Florida, what is the thought process
behind employing THREE law firms? How do the 3 law firms logistically go after the county?

FLA dashcam:LEO kills suspect w/1 round.Lawsuits follow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l0ELfecIQY

The above video is a 1 minute, 36 second long dashcam video from the Marion County, Florida Sheriff's Dept.

A possibly impaired 21 year old man was walking near a busy road. The first LEO on the scene was a female,
the 2nd was a male. They prone him out on his stomach and are in the process of getting him cuffed when he
wiggles upward, engages in some tussling, then walks away (out of dashcam view).

The female LEO makes a split second decision that her partner is out of the fight, she draws and quickly fires 1
round, hitting the suspect in the abdomen, which eventually kills him. Her male partner jumps up, doesn't realize
that her 1 round has hit the suspect, and tases him.

The officers were judged to have acted OK by their superiors but the young man's family has employed THREE
law firms to sue on behalf of their loved one.

Comments welcome.
