Jack Crawford, a former prosecutor, is an experienced criminal defense attorney whose job often puts him at odds with police. He read the lawsuit.
"It is outrageous, incredibly outrageous," Crawford said, "And has no chance in the world of being successful."
According to police, officers responding to reports of a man with a gun, confronted Davis in a dark east side alley.

In the lawsuit, Davis claims Renn took the first shot, insisting he was unarmed and the AK-47 police found at the crime scene wasn't his.
The lawsuit claims that IMPD "used illegal excessive force by shooting the head, abdomen and back" of Davis, and he "will continue to be irreparably injured by the misconduct."
