Oakland Man Shot by Former Police Officer May Receive $8M Settlement: A Summary In 2022, an Oakland man, Green, was shot multiple times by a former San Jose police officer, Mark McNamara, outside a downtown taqueria. Green had disarmed a gunman during a fight and was backing out with his hands up, holding the weapon away. McNamara, who had just responded to a fatal shooting nearby, mistook Green for the same suspect and opened fire. The case sparked a legal battle over excessive force. McNamara claimed Green was a threat, but Greens lawyers argued he had dropped the gun and posed no danger. A federal judge and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied McNamara qualified immunity, ruling a jury could find the shooting unreasonable. The situation was further complicated by an internal probe revealing McNamaras racist text messages, including the use of the n-word and disparaging remarks about Black people. He resigned from the department in November 2023. The city is now considering an $8 million settlement to avoid a trial and further costs. The citys attorney called it a smart move to resolve the case without risk. Greens team has not commented, but the settlement could bring closure after years of legal battles.
