After an Atlanta police officer tased Aman in 2018, forcing him to fall and break his head on concrete, a jury decided to give him $100 million.
He is now paralysed and needs care around-the-clock.
The jury determined that the officer used excessive force. The Georgia NAACP claimed that
especially in the area where the victim is still residing, this is the largest payment they have ever heard of.
They think that this decision may make it simpler for law enforcement agencies to be held accountable for the use of excessive force or other forms of police brutality.

Panhandling was the initial point of contact between Jerry Blasingame, 65 at the time, and APD officer Jon Grubbs.
