Police brutality has taken center stage in the news, but it isn’t new. Excessive and/or unnecessary use of force by police on civilians has been reported as far back as the 1870s. From law enforcement physically harming workers on strike to imposing unnecessary harm on civilians during the Civil Rights Movement, to a rash of misconduct cases among police officers in recent years, police brutality takes many forms. If you’ve been injured due to such actions, it may be possible to pursue a police brutality settlement.
In incidents of brutality, police officers may use guns, batons, fists, pepper spray, or even nerve gas. Sexual abuse has also been reported. But police brutality doesn’t always involve direct physical abuse; other examples include:
Fund Capital America can help you with police brutality settlement funding, an alternative to settlement loans with no hidden fees and no upfront payment, so you can manage daily expenses and pursue your claim. Police shootings aren’t uncommon in California. In March 2018, Stephon Clark of Sacramento was shot 20 times when police mistook his cellphone for a weapon. Following the incident, California state legislators introduce a measure to permit officers to use deadly force “only when necessary”. Previous regulations authorized them to do so “when reasonable”.
According to The Washington Post, 987 people were fatally shot by police in 2017. As of October 1, 756 individuals had been shot and killed by police in 2018.
The L.A. Times reported 157 people were killed by police in 2016. One third of those incidents were in Los Angeles County. Combined with police force resulting in serious injuries, there were 782 reported incidents, a quarter of which were in Los Angeles County and most involving the Los Angeles Police Department or L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.

Some cases can take over five years to settle. It is not uncommon for an obvious case of police brutality to take several years, making police brutality lawsuit settlement funding even more important. Police departments are rarely open to settling early. Admitting wrongdoing can cast doubt on the entire force; plus, police forces prefer to stretch out cases to manage the cost.
