"A 69-year-old panhandler in Atlanta who sustained a life-changing injury after he was tased by a police officer in the city has been awarded by a nine-figure judgment by a jury. Civil rights advocates note that despite the historic victory, the officer, who the court decided used excessive force, is still employed by the city.

Jerry Blasingame’s conservator Keith Edwards sued the city of Atlanta, the Atlanta Police Department, and one of its officers, Jon Grubbs, on behalf of his client, filing the civil suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on May 7, 2019. The ask was for his medical bills (both past and future) acquired as a result of the police-involved injury that made him a quadriplegic with little use of his arms to be covered by the defendants"
