The City to Pay Millions to Protesters Kettled by NYPD in 2020
By Nia Prater, Intelligencer staff writer, who covers New York politics
The city is preparing to settle a lawsuit brought by protesters who were encircled and beaten by NYPD officers during a 2020 racial-justice protest for a hefty sum that could total “between $4 million and $6 million,” according to the New York Times.
Hundreds of protesters involved in the demonstration in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx could receive $21,500 each, as laid out in a Tuesday court filing, according to the Times. On top of that, those who were arrested could receive an additional $2,500, according to Hell Gate. The proposed settlement still has to be officially approved by a judge.
