💨 Abstract

In 2025, Louisiana agreed to a $9 million settlement with Clifton “Scotty” Dilley, who was partially paralyzed after a trooper shot him in the back during a 2018 traffic stop. The trooper, Kasha Domingue, was fired for using excessive force and misreporting the incident. The trooper's initial claims were disproven by surveillance video showing the unarmed man running away.
