PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A dozen Portland police instructors were prepared to testify in a case filed against the city that an officer who shot an unarmed man in the back was following his training.
The $1.2 million settlement of the lawsuit brought by the family of Aaron Campbell means the officers won’t testify at a federal court trial scheduled this week.
Officer Ronald Frashour shot Campbell in 2010. Chief Michael Reese fired Frashour for violating police policy.
The Oregonian reports ( http://bit.ly/Ahhv0C ) that court documents show one trainer was to testify that any officer would have acted as Frashour did.
