Disturbing the police II

We represent Pepin Tuma, a young lawyer who was falsely arrested for disorderly conduct by D.C. police simply because he chanted “I hate the police” while walking near a group of police officers on the street. When Mr. Tuma asked why he was being arrested, the arresting officer explained, “Just shut up, faggot.”. Our lawsuit seeks compensation from the District of Columbia and the arresting officer, and “punitive damages” from the arresting officer for his outrageous conduct.
