Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2023	In January 2023, the City of Shreveport, Louisiana, reached a settlement with Brandon Kennedy in an excessive force lawsuit. The terms of the settlement were not released as of January 2023. In December 2020, Kennedy, a Black man, was standing in line at a convenience store when he struck up a conversation with another customer and mentioned his support for the Black Lives Matter movement and his negative experiences with the Shreveport Police Department. Officer Montrell Jackson overheard Kennedy and ordered him to step outside. He then threw Kennedy to the ground and repeatedly slammed his head on the sidewalk. Jackson, along with other officers who arrived, handcuffed and searched Kennedy but found nothing incriminating, and then took him to a hospital psychiatric ward. The next morning, a psychiatrist said there was no basis to hold Kennedy and released him.
