Class Action Filed on Behalf of Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and Others Over LAPD Mass Arrests and Brutality

Today, my office, along with a whole bunch of lawyers from the National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles chapter, filed a class action lawsuit over the LAPD’s mass arrests and excessive force tactics used against protesters participating in the recent demonstrations related to the police killings of Black Americans. Black Lives Matter Los Angeles is the lead plaintiff. We expect the class to consist of thousands of demonstrators. The complaint is available here.
