...Jesse (the boy) was charged with assault on a peace officer, resisting arrest, and obstructing official business...
...Jesse and his mom seek damages from the city and the two lead officers, for false imprisonment, false arrest, malicious prosecution, assault, battery, excessive use of force, infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy.
