Ktsnake,
This is exactly why Native Detroiters aren't neccessarily surprised at this filing. This case probably has little legal merit (though I admit that I don't know a lot about law---it does seem that the employees would have some type of protection, esp. emergency operatives) but this is, most likely, just for the profile and a ridiculous settlement that Detroit can't possibly afford. You have to know Fieger (re: Dr. Kevorkian and some other high profile cases) and his relationship with the metro Detroit community to fully grasp just how deep this can go...
