Anchorage Mayor Suzanne LaFrance’s office said in a statement Thursday the settlement followed a meeting between Police Chief Sean Case and members of Easter Leafa’s family. Terms of the agreement were not released.
State prosecutors last fall announced they would not file criminal charges against the officer who fatally shot Leafa, concluding that the use of deadly force was legally justified.
The sister later told investigators “she knew that Easter Leafa was trying to give the knife to the officers,” the report said.
Leafa was one of seven people shot by police in Anchorage in a roughly three-month span last year. She had recently moved from American Samoa and was still learning English, her family has said.
Officer not charged with a crime - presumably still employed there.
Any of you ever lose your employer a couple million and retain your job?
Not even sure what we are doing anymore. Everything has become completely fucking backward and stupid. We could so easily make police carry malpractice insurance like we make doctors. I thought conservatives liked guns, freedom and capitalism - why don’t they give a shit about jackbooted idiocy? 🤷♂️
a couple million
That’s the average price of a teenage life, too, apparently.
