If they had reached out to the bereaved family, treated them with dignity and compassion, and offered them a fair and decent settlement, this might not have gone to federal court. But you can't just brush stuff like this under the rug. They left the family no alternative. IMHO, they should fire that administrator. The situation was greatly mismanaged. Hope the mayor of Smyrna is dusting off their checkbook. Please keep us posted on this story.

I've read a lot of the media coverage. There was absolutely no reason for this to happen. Since when does an unpaid ticket warrant capital punishment? I saw the picture of the white car being hauled off and there were six bullet holes in the passenger side windows, two in the back and two in the front. The police sent 5 officers and a K9 unit to serve this whatever it was, ticket, warrant. They came loaded for bear and intended to kill that young man if they could. The autopsy revealed he was shot in the back. How do you get up in the morning and think to yourself, My, I think I'll kill some innocent person today? Personally, I believe that all police officers should be screened for psychopathy. Police work seems to attract psychopaths. We don't need this kind of thing and trust will never be restored between police and the people while it goes on, not to mention it does not help race relations. Shame on that officer. If he still has a conscience, I hope it haunts him every day and eats into his very soul for the rest of his life. And I hope their lawyer, Mawuli Davis, scores a mighty victory for this bereaved family. God bless them and look over them and keep them safe. Signed: A white person who hasn't lost her mind.
