Salisbury University Students Can Proceed With Excessive Force Lawsuit

SALISBURY, Md. (AP) — A judge has allowed four Salisbury University students to proceed with their civil-rights lawsuit against the city.

The Daily Record reports last week, a judge rejected the city’s request to dismiss the lawsuit, which says that the Salisbury Police Department has a pattern or custom of targeting and harassing the university’s students. The lawsuit was filed last September.

In the lawsuit, the students say that former police officer Justin Aita used excessive force in falsely arresting them in May 2014.

The City will lose this one. There's too much video evidence to go against their actions. It's only going to be about the settlement amount!

Better hurry on this one.The US is preparing to pass a law that does not allow the taxpayers to fund a lawsuit.It's about time.One way or another we'll pay for it,especially when insurance rate hikes are the result.

8:33 but insurance fees will go up, more wasted tax payer money. County has same concerns. Best to settle out of court and save money.

If I could i'd use excessive force on them also. We've 4 renting beside us in a nice developement in the county. All girls. They were plastered drunk last night, screaming and hollaring in their back yard at 12:30 this morning.
We called the state police on the animals. Next to the campus police and student affairs. Like every year.
One year we got a group thrown out, and one expelled from SSU.
Happens every year. A new crop of children posing as college student.

that's the problem with this area, more concerned about saving money than stopping abuses or holding people and institutions accountable.
