Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2022	In July 2022, the City of Tampa, Florida, and the Tampa Police Department reached a settlement with the family of Arthur Green Jr. over his death in 2014. Green, a Black man, was driving in Tampa when he experienced a diabetic emergency and struggled to control his steering wheel. After a nearby motorist called 911, police reached Green but did not get him the immediate medical attention he needed. Instead, they handcuffed him and put him in a prone position (meaning face-down on the ground) where he struggled to breathe and later died. In addition to an undisclosed financial settlement, the Tampa Police Department agreed to make changes to its procedures on how officers handle cases where people are held in a prone position. Green’s family requested an official apology from Tampa Mayor Jane Castor because she was Tampa’s Police Chief at the time of Green’s death, but Castor refused.
