WASHINGTON, DC – The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund and its project, the Center for Protest Law & Litigation has filed a federal lawsuit against the District of Columbia and the Metropolitan Police Department’s alleged indiscriminate, violent use of less lethal weapons against racial justice protesters.
The fund said it was challenging the MPD’s “repressive and violent tactics including the authorized indiscriminate use of ‘less lethal’ projectile weapons against peaceful protestors and bystanders, gratuitously and without notice or warning and in order to intentionally retaliate against and inflict pain upon protestors challenging policing in our society.”
