assailant

Mr Thompson was shot in the back by a masked assailant in December as he was walking into a hotel where the company he led was holding an investors' meeting.

Some officers could be seen laughing and shaking hands with the assailants.

The suit identified 20 alleged assailants who carried out the attack, and some of the violence was captured on video.

For roughly one minute, a San José Police Department dog tore through the neck of an assailant without hesitation.

They said they acted in self-defence but feared they would be jailed when Thai authorities said they and their assailants would face charges.
