A civil rights lawsuit filed by the family of a man who was shot to death by a San Diego police officer in a Midway District alley in 2015 has ended with a multimillion-dollar settlement, marking a conclusion to one of the city’s most controversial police shootings.
Dan Miller, the lawyer for the family, said after years of litigation the city ultimately saw fit to end the case.“This was a tragedy that resulted from the unjustified shooting of an unarmed man,” he said. “We are pleased that the City has belatedly decided to step up and resolve the case.” Browder was responding to a report from a worker in an adult bookstore in the area that a man was threatening people with a knife. As Browder pulled up to an alley, he did not turn on his police lights but did use his car spotlight to illuminate the area.
Browder got out of his car, with his gun pulled out and pointing down the alley. Five seconds after getting out of his car, Browder fired at Nehad, hitting him in the chest. The video then shows him immediately sprinting down the alley to attend to the fallen Nehad. But two years later the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that ruling, finding that there were several issues where there was a factual dispute over Browder’s actions that a jury should decide.
So now we know what a human life is worth. About $3,000,000.

So the PD is responsible but the taxpayers have to pay the money and the PD doesn’t have to change in any way whatsoever?
This would work a lot better if the responsible cops had to pay rather than the taxpayer.
