LMPD was issued the tasers as a knee-jerk reactions to McKenzie Mattingly's shooting of Michael Newby. Like, if the department had tasers then Mattingly would have been carrying one of them undercover as he bought crack from Newby. In the end Louisville Metro paid Newby's family $250K. Fast forward......the officers use these tasers as they are trained & get sued (no surprises there) And.....Louisville Metro pays out $150K to the family. Seriously, I could not make this stuff up if I wanted to.
