Officers Involved In Samuel DuBose Shooting Were Sued In Earlier Death Of Unarmed Black Man
The two officers restrained a mentally ill patient while another cop shot him with a stun gun.

Two University of Cincinnati police officers involved in a colleague's recent fatal shooting of Samuel DuBose also were on hand for a 2010 struggle with a psychiatric patient who later died.

Officers Eric Weibel and Phillip Kidd were among seven University of Cincinnati police officers and other officials named in a lawsuit alleging the wrongful death of Kelly Brinson, a 45-year-old mentally ill university hospital patient. Hospital staff summoned officers to help subdue Brinson, who became agitated when put in seclusion, according to court documents first reported by The Guardian. Kidd and Weibel gave written statements that they restrained Brinson, while another officer used a Taser stun gun on him.

Brinson went into cardiac arrest and died days later, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The Hamilton County coroner ruled Brinson died from natural causes. His family settled the lawsuit for $638,000.

Documents from the Brinson lawsuit are available online.

2. What are the chances the same two cops are on a murder scene again?

I'm thinking maybe these two cops are the department's "fixers" dispatched to try to protect the shooter.
