Twelve people injured while protesting the death of George Floyd in Denver challenged the response by Denver Police in court.
“This is the first of those cases to get to a jury trial, and I think the size of this jury verdict sends a message not just to the Denver Police Department, but to police departments all around the country,” Director of ACLU Colorado Mark Silverstein said.
“What we have as of Friday is a jury verdict, which is the equivalent of finding of fact, that the city and county of Denver itself is responsible for the induvial action of police officers,” he said. “The men and women of the Denver Police Department acted with nothing less than honor integrity courage and bravery,” Nick Rogers said.
