In September 2024, the City Council of Burlington, Vermont, approved a $215,000 settlement with Mabior Jok, resolving a lawsuit stemming from a 2018 police use-of-force incident. On September 8, 2018, Jok was standing outside with a group of people when their conversation became heated. According to the lawsuit and body-worn camera footage, Officer Joseph Corrow approached the group and did not announce himself or issue any commands before slamming Jok to the ground, knocking him unconscious. Jok, a former child soldier and refugee from South Sudan, has experienced intermittent homelessness while living in Burlington. |
