Louisiana officials have agreed to pay $9 million to a man who was partially paralyzed after a state trooper shot him in the back during a 2018 traffic stop in Baton Rouge
Louisiana authorities have agreed to pay $9 million to a man who was partially paralyzed from the waist down after a trooper shot him in the back during a 2018 traffic stop in Baton Rouge and then falsely reported it as a Taser discharge.
The settlement reached last month is among the largest of its kind in state history and resolves a federal lawsuit by Clifton “Scotty” Dilley, whose injuries confined him to a wheelchair when he was 19. The terms of the settlement, which were not made public, were provided to The Associated Press by a person with direct knowledge who was not authorized to disclose them and spoke on condition of anonymity. The shooting was mentioned in a U.S. Justice Department report this year that found Louisiana State Police used excessive force during arrests and vehicle pursuits.
State police fired Trooper Kasha Domingue after determining she shot Dilley “without any reliable justification,” failed to activate her body-worn camera and gave inconsistent accounts that were contradicted by surveillance video. The agency also found that her misreporting the incident as a tasing “delayed the appropriate responses to the shooting,” according to records reviewed by AP.

Things like this should be paid out of the police pension fund. I’m sorry, little piggy. You can’t retire because another thug shot someone unnecessarily? Sucks to be you.
DEI is very damaging and expensive.
“DEI”
....... hamartia
Should be lifelong medical care equivalent to the richest of the rich/Presidents...
PLUS - $4,000,000,000,000.
Just sickening.
There’s nothing like being pulled over by a DEI trooperette.
The agency allowed her to graduate academy despite those problems, requiring that she complete additional training before receiving her commission. But instructors expressed misgivings about her suitability. One internal report said she “struggled from the onset of the class, both physically and mentally.”
“Told ya so.”
Is there a picture of this Kasha
Hey, lady, backshooting is usually a bad idea.
“she remained a trooper for more than two years after the shooting”
That’s just great. 🙄
What good is $9 million if you’re paralyzed? Just sayin’.
A friend’s daughter is confined to a wheelchair due to malpractice in surgery. She was awarded millions and is still in the wheelchair. She’d trade the millions with poverty if she could walk again.
Nice new word, synonymous with leftist policies.

Women are doing a lot of jobs these days that they were never meant or built to do. They need to stop trying to be men. And you should never shoot someone in the back unless you have huge eyebrows that you can lick with your tongue and your name is Luigi.
“One internal report said she “struggled from the onset of the class, both physically and mentally.”“
Geez , she apparently sucked even compared to the other girls. She double sucked yet in she goes.
How do cops commit felonies, get them downgraded to a misdemeanor, then get that expunged? This happened to a cop that was in political office, I know. He's corrupt.
You mean the public has been made to pay...
