Twelve more injured protesters sued Denver on Tuesday alleging police officers needlessly gassed them and shot them with projectiles without warning during the 2020 protests over the murder of George Floyd.
The lawsuit is at least the 15th filed against Denver in connection with the protests that began May 28, 2020, as the two-year statute of limitations for similar litigation draws near.
Since the protests, Denver has paid out $1.4 million in settlements to protesters, not including the $14 million jury verdict. The group of plaintiffs who sued Tuesday included students, a property manager, a software engineer, union organizers and a business owner.
