You have my sympathies. But that is probably something you are short of. From my personal opinion, the author doesn’t have a discrimination case against MSU. Most things listed here are results of negligence either from MSU or the police department. Although the negligence could be under a direct or indirect affluence of discrimination, the author did not have evidence that discriminatory acts took place. For example, what are alleged discriminatory practices the author accused of MSU and the PD? One can easily tell the emotion in the deion of the evens from the author though much of these are your words against their words. The author is clearly upset (u should be) and has a collection of stories to ensue his credibility (u don’t have to convince me). But these seem to be irrelevant to your problem so I don’t know how these will help. These facts would probably hurt the authors chance to convince a lawyer to take on the case if there is one. The collective aspect of the evens would be more appropriate for the author to pursue a legal action against MSU and police department of gross negligence.

The Elements of a Negligence Action
A typical formula for evaluating negligence requires that a plaintiff prove the following four factors by a "preponderance of the evidence":
1. The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff (or a duty to the general public, including the plaintiff);
2. The defendant violated that duty;
3. As a result of the defendant's violation of that duty, the plaintiff suffered injury; and
4. The injury was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the defendant's action or inaction.
