Settlement renews conversation on use of force

The city of Cincinnati and Kroger agreed to pay $240,000 to the family of Donesha Gowdy, an 11-year-old girl who was stunned with a Taser while shoplifting, according to a news release from family attorney Al Gerhardstein. Cincinnati Police Department chief Eliot Isaac announced Tuesday the off-duty officer who stunned her had been reassigned to a position with the Telephone Crime Reporting Unit and would soon face additional discipline, including a seven-day suspension and use-of-force training.
