More details to this question:
He was ripped out of the chair and slammed on the wall and concrtete. The officer grabbed his barefeet and kneed him. They put handcuffs on him and while walking him to the car hit him four times with his walke talkie saying he was resisting. This was witnesses by many. His toe is now broken. The officer was ofc duty and he wasn not charged with fleeing. Only a warrant. Is this valid enough to file a lawsuiye for police misconduct?

Seriously? So your husband has a warrant for his arrest and you say he ran and sat on the porch to "wait for them?" really?.....why didnt he just stay where he was and get arrested?.....OH thats right, because people with arrest warrants out on them don't do that, the run away and try to barricade themselves in the house. Lets stop being silly shall we?....if your husband runs from the police when he has a warrant for his arrest, and gets a broken toe, that is perpetrator misconduct NOT police misconduct.
