From the Independent:
The family of Ahmed Mohamed, the Texan schoolboy who was arrested after taking a homemade clock to school, has demanded $15m in compensation and written apologies from the local mayor and police chief.
In letters sent on Monday, the lawyers said if the City of Irving and Irving School District did not agree to the apologies and compensation, they would file a civil action.
"Ahmed never threatened anyone, never caused harm to anyone, and never intended to. The only one who was hurt that day was Ahmed, and the damages he suffered were not because of oversight or incompetence," said the letter to the city authorities.

Just gonna stand there and watch the country burn
that's alright because we like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear us cry
That's alright because we like the way you lie
Clockmed, we love the way you lie.
We love the way you lie.
Clockmed, tell us what it really is
Come on, tell us what does it feel like
Right then it was a fake bomb in a classroom, right?
Is it like a pipebomb in your satchel?
Alarms in the head, teachers are red,
communities floating in hate
Claim the suffering and shock
hands tied back standing at the dock
for bringing to school a dismantled off the shelf clock
Where you going? You leaving us? No, you aint; Come back,
we're looking back, when it is going good it is going great
We're not deserting you
Here we go again
Don't apologies for the reaction yo police
This punk deserved what he got at least
Bomb threats this family they make
the world turns, people shake
We're arresting you, no you aint!
I'm muslim! You can't lay hands on!
Coming right back to the courthouse right now
Here we go again, another muslim complaining,
It feels like our hands are on fire...
We can't breathe, can't see, can't fight
As long as it's not a bomb we will be tight
It's like we can stand any islam games no more
It suffocates us, it placates us, resets us, messes us
Right before we drown we blame you, fricking hate you;
Clockmed, why do you sue? Did you cry?
Was someone hurt? Did anyone die?
What will 15 million buy?
You're escaping to Qatar after setting this place on fire
We're just going to stand here and watch this country burn
but that's alright because we like the way it hurts
We're just going to stand here to weep and cry
islam is killing us and it loves the way we die
it loves the way we die
Our culture under attack
it could never stand
this type of assault we depend
on each other, brothers, to protect again the insane
moving forward together, black, white, red, yella,
all being here, together as one, the future in our hands
while these pissants divide us and take our lands
We're not gonna stand here and let this country burn
frick off Clockmed, your type will never learn,
We're not going stand here and merely cry
We will defend our country land and sky
We will defend ourselves, not lay down and die,
Clockmed, we hate the way you lie,
Hate the way you lie.
