Another Lawsuit Claim: Public Safety or Excessive-Use-of-Force Beatings & Killings By Mesa PD

This is not the universe of international media attention that the City of Mesa wants when yet another multi-million dollar claim is made. These incidents of excessive officer-involved force have been piling up in pending litigation for more than the last two years. In addition to the victims included in recent reports inserted here today, the incidents include a grandmother, the homeless, and the killings of dogs. By far the largest settlement yet-to-be made is the killing of Daniel Shaver close to three years ago in a claim for $75-$130 Millions of  dollars during a Command-and Control hit.
