Marcella Pourmoghani filed suit against the Hillsborough Co., sheriff's office after charges of battery against a CO(law enforcement) was dropped by the state attorney's office after witnessing the following video:

According to one friend who work at nearby agency and has being keeping a close tab on this case, the odds are that very little will change with Hillsborough Co. SO, except for the tax payer footing the legal bill.
For people who think government is MORE TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE THAN COMPANIES: When companies are sued and get negative publicity, they lose future sales, their stock price drop, and people get terminated/laid off. All this result in changing the behavior of an organization. Worst comes to worst, the company may go bankrupt and be replaced via the process of creative destruction. Companies do go bankrupt from time to time if they don't perform. But not the government.
What is surprising to me is that this CO/LEO did this in front of the camcorder/video recorder. Most CO and LEO I knew knew when and where they were being recorded, so they acted accordingly(put on their best behavior).
BTW, very small fraction of these cases, whether justified or not, ever makes it to the public due to the fact most of these people are poorly educated, lack resources, and w/o dvd/camcorder recording (virtually impossible once you are in custody whether convicted or not), CO/LEO's words almost always prevails against the inmate's testimony. Plus the fact government tend to have very deep pocket and much more legal resources than most people.
