MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


The individual defendants move to dismiss. That motion is denied.

Plaintiff combined policy allegations against the City with allegations respecting the individual defendants. It would have been better to separate those claims, as it does make it more difficult for defendants to respond. But we think what is alleged against the individual defendants is reasonably clear. They need not answer claims attacking an allegedly unconstitutional policy, but they can answer allegations that they engaged in unconstitutional conduct. And we equate "reckless disregard" with "wilful and wanton."
