City to pay $1.8 million in fatal shooting by police officer

By Troy Graham

The city has agreed to pay $1.8 million to the family of a man killed when a police officer, chasing an armed suspect, fired into an East Germantown home during a 2008 New Year's party.

The officer's bullets hit three people attending the party, including Abebe Isaac, a hospital maintenance worker and father of three young children.

Isaac, 33, died a week later after suffering from an infection and complications.

"We're hoping this will in some way help his children," said Alan Yatvin, an attorney for the Isaac family. "They're young, and they have their whole lives in front of them without their dad."

Currently the police officers aren't liable for anything they do, it's all the taxpayers that end up eating the costs for BS like this. What they should do is change the law to make all officers 80% responsible for any settlements, lawsuits, etc... This would make those cops think twice about doing stupid crap
