I'd be willing to bet, if I were a betting man that if it was just the average joe racer who got into a confrontation with the off duty officer (or anyone for that matter) it would not have been blown out of proportion nor getting "investigated"..... Tony has a whole lotta money, and people see any opportunity they can get to sue someone (whether they're right or wrOng) to try and profit off of someone.

I wish I had grown up in the era being spoken about above.... Simpler times, and a simple solution to a simple problem.
