The tell them they can get more money from the city!
Then when the City, who has a line of attorneys, gets notice they freeze the records, put the perpetrators on administrative leave, and the attorney and the City work out a deal.
The end story being the perpetrators keep their performance bonds and return to do it again. The attorney gets a pat on the back from their fellow BAR members in the DA and Judges Offices for being so professional. The injured get their share after the Attorney gets theirs and take the night off for a trip to Mickey D's.
These Officers each have a performance bond of about 1 million dollars. They have been determined by the SCOTUS to be agents of the Metropolitan Corporation and not Officers of the Law. when you sue their bond they loose that bond and must go find a new job in the security industry where they don't need a gun.
In many states to claim this bond only requires an application and the police report, and a three witness Affidavit. Not much to receive from your ordeal except the knowledge they won't do it to someone else.
I have seen similar things happen while not knowing the ins and outs of what you described it sure puts things into perspective. It's also a really hush hush transaction but if you can read between the lines and watch things unfold in the paper...
