A: First, what evidence do you have showing it didn't happen the way they claim? Witnesses? Video? As you see online all the time, there are video's showing law enforcement using deadly force when not necessary, or using excessive force against citizens. But, before an attorney is willing to spend their money to help pursue such case, there needs to be some substantial original evidence causing them to believe it is a good case to pursue.
