Minneapolis has been hit with a class action suit for attacking peaceful protesters and violating their 1st Amendment rights.
the following day -- which as we reported, and went down live on the air -- underscores"the city and police force’s open infringement on first amendment rights."
According to the suit ... police have also engaged in a"corral and combat" strategy against protesters in an effort to concentrate them in one location, then gas them and shoot non-lethal projectiles at them. Williams claims this has"no tactical purpose other than injuring otherwise peaceful protestors."
She is seeking damages from the city and wants an order stopping cops from engaging in these practices against peaceful protesters.
