There is a purpose to the lawsuit...to challenge the intent, conduct of the police but most important, what did they already know before they arrived.

(the lawsuit claims the officers had evidence that neither Brown, Thorne or his son were the individual that had been arrested the week before because their cars and their license plates did not match the previous suspect's.)

If they were white men, it would have gone down the same? I don't believe that for one moment.
