Legal proceedings determined that the Metro detective who fatally shot a "rowdy" and combative Taft at a DC restaurant was not threatened, and was not carrying pepper spray as he should have. Still the detective was not charged, was allowed to keep his job, and a civil suit brought by the family was decided in the police's favor.
