Lawsuits Mount as Police Use of Force Cases Rise in Nashville

The wife of Grammy-winning sound engineer Mark Capps, who was killed by police in January, has filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Nashville and the police officer involved. The lawsuit alleges that the officer used excessive and unreasonable force, and argues that the city is to blame for allowing a culture of fear and violence within the police department. The police claim that Capps pointed a handgun at them, but the family disputes this based on body camera footage. The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and damages to be determined.
