Baltimore police settle brutality lawsuit for $24,000

Published October 11, 2008 4:00am ET



Baltimore City police have agreed to pay $24,000 to a 55-year-old man whose rough treatment while handcuffed was caught on tape.

 

Minutes after a city jury on Thursday began deliberating on Glenn Curry’s multimillion-dollar police brutality suit, Curry abruptly accepted the city’s settlement offer.

“It’s always good when the city admits that an officer did something wrong,” said Granville Templeton, Curry’s attorney. “This was never about money, but about accountability and making sure that police acknowledge the harm they caused my client.”
