In May 2013, Officer Middlebrooks was recorded advising a black resident, Vincent Bias, to kill another black man and stage it as self-defense. The city settled a lawsuit with Bias for $35,000. Middlebrooks was disciplined but retained his position. ([theguardian.com](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/04/alabama-police-officer-murder-black-man-self-defense?utm_source=openai))
