City finalizes $4.8M payout to protestors trapped by NYPD during 2020 BLM protest
A federal judge is set to finalize a $4.2 million payout on Tuesday of $21,500 each to hundreds of protestors who claimed in a lawsuit that they were trapped by police and attacked with batons and pepper spray during a 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in the Bronx.
Several plaintiffs gathered outside the Southern District federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan after McMahon hit her gavel — pleased with the outcome of the case but plagued by their memories of the protest. “There was an individual in my cell who was bleeding from the head … His whole face just gushed and he was in his cell for hours before they released him,” Gutierrez said.
Gutierrez and roughly 200 other plaintiffs will receive what is believed to be the largest-ever per-person payout for a mass arrest, Alison Frick, an attorney for the named plaintiffs,NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said in a press release last month that the 2020 protests posed “unique challenges” for police.
