The 69-page complaint states that from May 28 to Dec. 11, 2020, New York City Police officers “repeatedly and without justification used batons, fist strikes, pepper spray, and other physical force against New York Residents at the protests.”
The protesters marched and demonstrated in parts of New York City to decry the deaths of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Louisville. Floyd and Taylor, both Black, were killed by police in their communities.
