Maybe you know more than an aviation law professor. I'm sorry if me ignoring some random dude over law professors makes you think that I won't listen. I just go to experts for my information, not the Bengals Board.
Though I teach sociology, I won't paint myself as an expert. This is my opinion. The parallels are there. "Civilian is injured after an interaction with the cops". You can take issue with my suggestion that race is tied into this, and I will disagree since race and socioeconomics are forever tied in our culture, but don't be dishonest and say there are no parallels when one post ago you were trying to excuse the difference in attitudes of the general population.
As for this topic, I just can't entertain upper middle class entitlement and ignore lower class strife.
And here is an associate dean and professor at Cornell's law school telling you he did have legal standing under basic contract law, which I am well versed in.

Looks like they were worried enough about their legal exposure they went ahead and settled though.
