The brawny, long-haired, leather-clad ex-con with a soft side -- known to reality television fans as "Dog the Bounty Hunter" -- swept into a Daly City park last year with cameras rolling and city police officers in tow.
Duane Chapman and his Hawaii-based "posse" of family members, who star in A&E's most popular series, were after an elusive bail-skipper who had played for the Daly City Renegades semipro football team.
What happened next is the subject of an unusual civil rights lawsuit filed Wednesday at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
Chapman's son tried to grab and restrain one of the players, but it wasn't the fugitive -- who wasn't even at the team practice on May 24, 2005. It was Daly City nightclub promoter Simaile "Cisco" Lutu, 29, whose mood quickly soured.

I watch it at times, but it seems too scripted and Beth is annoying.
