Shocking Case: Innocent Black Woman Sues Nashville Police After Near-Death Experience Due to False Detention in Stolen Car Incident

Sasha Palmer, a 39-year-old Black woman, suffered a near-fatal incident in Nashville when a police-chased stolen truck veered onto the sidewalk as she walked during her lunch break on November 15, 2023. Despite being innocent, she was wrongly detained based on a white witness's false claims. Officers, despite surveillance footage indicating otherwise, insisted she exited the vehicle. Palmer, confused and distressed, was handcuffed, leading to trauma and PTSD, prompting her to file a lawsuit against Metro Nashville Police for violating her rights.
