Daily News | Philadelphia will pay $9.25M to protesters over police use of tear gas and rubber bullets during 2020 unrest
The city has agreed to pay a total $9.25 million to more than 300 people whom police injured during the response to the 2020 racial justice protests following the police murder of George Floyd.
The damages awarded to each of the approximately 350 plaintiffs vary depending on the circumstances of their individual cases, attorneys said during a press conference at the Paul Robeson House and Museum in West Philadelphia. The lawsuits focused on two incidents: the mass teargassing of protesters on I-676 on June 1, 2020, and the police use of military-style armored vehicles, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and tear gas on demonstrators and neighborhood residents while attempting to curb looting and violence along the 52nd Street historic Black business corridor in West Philadelphia.
