Denver City Council approved another excessive force lawsuit settlement on Tuesday, adding $2.5 million to bring the total paid for lawsuits and settlements to nearly $30 million since 2020.
Tuesday’s settlement will go to 13 Black Lives Matter protestors who were protesting police brutality in late May and early June of 2020. The group alleges that Denver police officers deployed tear gas, rubber bullets and flashbangs without cause or warning during the protests.
