City Settles Lawsuits Over Alleged Police Misconduct

By Edward Bills

ADVERTISEMENTS

The city of New Orleans settled two lawsuits last week centering around police brutality and misconduct. In one case, a lawsuit alleged that the owner of the Sportsman?s Corner bar was arrested, tased and beaten after police executed an illegal search of the bar. In the other suit, a group of off-duty police allegedly shouted racial epithets towards a group of African-American men at a bar before following them outside and beating them. The settlement amount in the first lawsuit was not revealed. The city agreed to pay $25,000 to settle the second lawsuit.
