It is getting crazy with lawsuits, ain't it?

I read in the paper today about a criminal in my area who pulled a hidden gun out of his undies while in police custody. Shot himself in the head while sitting alone in a questioning room. Now the widow wants to sue the cops. La Raza news services claim the police gave him the loaded gun inside HQ!?!! (they're apparently taking lessons in "journalism" from Al Jazeera).
It's all caught on videotape and is apparently viewable on the internet.
