last summer, with victims claiming they were beaten with batons and sprayed with chemicals, a federal lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.ttorneys with law clinics at Northwestern University and others filed the 203-page suit on behalf of 60 people who joined protests to bring national attention to the cases of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Jacob Blake and others.
The 17-count suit alleges violations of protesters' First, Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights and more. It names Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown, along with 20 officers. Officers also targeted protesters' property – destroying cameras, phones, and eyeglasses and confiscating bikes, backpacks, and other belongings, the suit alleges. Officers"regularly called protesters vile and vulgar names, often using misogynistic and homophobic words" and"often affirmatively escalated encounters through taunts, shoves, pushes, and other inappropriate behavior at these protests," the suit says.
Oh boo-hoo. I guess maybe they shouldn’t have been out there damaging property, looting, setting fires, attacking innocents and the police. Maybe they wouldn’t have gotten their asses kicked.
How hurtful that someone calls you a name the problem today is everyone is a pansy crying cause someone hurt their precious feelings
Chief Brown was angry in Dallas and probably is angry in Chicago.
The Chicago police are correct. They are doing the right thing.
Oh, my GOD! Those terrible words directed at those armed with rocks, pipes, frozen water bottles, and bricks against the police. How 'unfair.'
Good
Thank you to the police. Great job.
If only Chicago had a Black police superintendent, a Black mayor, a Black state’s attorney, a Black Congressman, a Black county commissioner to better represent the people and stop the mistreatment of minorities.
I wish they would have gone all Kent St on them.
Yet white folks can barge into State Capitals and walk the streets with weapons and they get no such treatment. I hope the peaceful protestors get justice.
Defund the police!
