Dorian Johnson, The Boy Who Cried Riot, Now Suing Ferguson

He plunged the city into riots over a lie.

So of course he should get paid off for these services.

The lawsuit, filed last week by Dorian Johnson, claims that the officer, Darren Wilson, fired at him and Brown as they ran away from him on Aug. 9. The lawsuit claims Wilson targeted him without probable cause.

"Officer Wilson acted with either deliberate indifference and/or reckless disregard toward" Johnson, the lawsuit says.

The suit also cited many of the Departmet of Justice findings, arguing that the city and former Police Chief Thomas Jackson "facilitated, encouraged and/or instigated" biased police behavior, including the "excessive force" used against Brown and Johnson.

Um, the DoJ did not find that excessive force was used against Brown and Johnson -- they claimed excessive force was used generally, but not in this case.

The lawsuit seeks $25,000 in damages.

A Ferguson spokesman said the city would not comment on pending litigation.

I wonder if they'll pay up, since he's seeking so little.

But he's also seeking something else -- a piece of paper, a court ruling, that says he should be immune to a perjury prosecution. A settlement could be taken, I think, to imply he told the truth, should he be prosecuted for his vicious lies.
