South Bend, Indiana paying $150,000 for taser+dog arrest of child

The city of South Bend has agreed to pay $150,000 to settle a federal lawsuit filed in relation to a March 2005 incident where three police officers (allegedly) used excessive force on a 14-year-old boy. The officers (alledgedly) unnecessarily shocked the boy with a stun gun and (allegedly) let a police dog bite him.

The city (allegedly) did not admit wrong-doing.

(No admission: $100,000 :=> $150,000 ?!?)
