Uh not, it isn't "your word against theirs" -- a competent attorney will put a litigation hold on the CCTV footage, and they'll do it on contingency.

Makes me wonder if maybe you're being accurate, since you'll telling an unusual story and inventing reasons not to seek redress.

Also it'd be a criminal matter, not just a civil one -- having their LP have to get bailed out of the county jail sends a message.
