'Disparity of force' update

Seems that the DA isn't going to charge the man with the broken neck:

No charges will be filed against an elderly man whose neck was broken by an Orlando police officer during a parking dispute, the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office said Wednesday.

Minutes later, an attorney for the injured man, Daniel Daley Jr., 84, called for a grand jury investigation of the police officer and said a lawsuit would be filed seeking "the absolute maximum damages under the law."

But he sub-title says that 'police want him charged'.

Of course they do - if he's not charged with something, it lends credence to his claims that police used way too much force.
