The city declined to comment on the lawsuit from Sheneen McClain and Lawayne Mosley, who accused police of a longstanding pattern of racism and brutality. The lawsuit says two officers reported that all three of them put their weight on McClain after a chokehold. She's called McClain's death tragic and said she was “angry and disgusted” by the girls’ treatment. As interim chief, she told police in response to McClain's death that they no longer had to contact a person reported as suspicious if they weren't committing a crime.
