Description: Milwaukee, Wisconsin personal injury lawyer represented Plaintiff, who sued Defendants on civil rights violation theories.
In December 2015, two white Milwaukee police officers stopped and frisked Isaiah Taylor, a teenage black boy, thinking they'd just nabbed a robber escaping with his loot. Not so: the “loot” he was carrying under his arm turned out to be a frozen turkey he was delivering to a neighbor for the upcoming Christmas holiday. After discovering the frozen bird, the officers continued to hold Taylor to see if he had any outstanding warrants; finding none, they released him. Taylor later sued the officers and the City of Milwaukee alleging claims of racial profiling, unreasonable seizure, and unreasonable search.
Outcome: Motion for summary judgment denied.
