WBUR Boston Washington D.C. 14d14d Impact 6
A city has agreed to pay $5,000 to four individuals who alleged police brutality by officers during a Black Lives Matter protest six years ago. The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing by the city. The report was provided by John Bender. The city will pay a $5,000 settlement following a lawsuit related to a protest in May 2020. Jasmine Huffman, one of four plaintiffs, alleged her constitutional right to protest was violated after being hit in the chest with a baton by a city police officer. The payment is intended to send a specific message, according to a source. A sizable payment by the city has been made to compensate for an incident involving police brutality. Huffman stated that the payment sends a message that an event occurred deserving of compensation. Huffman expressed hope that the settlement prompts reforms in police conduct.
