Denver city leaders are poised to approve a $1.4 million settlement to a group of people injured during the 2020 racial justice protests downtown — bringing the city’s total bill so far for alleged police misconduct during the unrest to more than $11 million.The City Council during its Monday meeting is set to consider the new settlement with 35 people who sued the city in 2021, alleging police officers used tear gas and pepper spray on them as they demonstrated or observed peacefully. Some participants in the lawsuit were arrested, and even spent days in jail, but later had their charges dropped.Beyond physical injuries such as burning skin and bruises, many of the protesters were traumatized by the police, the lawsuit alleged. They are now afraid to protest and exercise their First Amendment right, it says.Related ArticlesCrime and Public Safety | 50 demonstrators sue Denver alleging police illegally injured or arrested them during 2020 protests Crime a...
