Federal court rules case may proceed against City of Boston and police officers who used excessive force on our clients at 2020 George Floyd protest

We recommend this article from boston.com: Judge: Lawsuit against Boston police who allegedly used excessive force against protesters could go to trial.

We represent four peaceful protesters who were injured by Boston police officers at the May 31, 2020 demonstration after the murder of George Floyd. The judge’s decision – which you can read here – states that the case against the officers will go forward. The case against the City will also proceed, focusing on how a jury could find that the acts of the City’s policymakers were responsible for the officers’ excessive force.

Details about the case and links to video clips of the protest can be found in our clients’ Statement of Facts.
