Minneapolis Police Were Sued A Decade Ago In Similar Restraint Case

NPR

In 2010, officers tased and subdued a 28-year-old mentally-ill man named David Smith at a YMCA by keeping him face down with a knee in his back.

The department settled for $3 million and offered training for officers in how to restrain people in custody more safely in the 2010 case.
