From ACLU of Colorado: Eight Plaintiffs represented by lawyers for the ACLU of Colorado filed suit last evening in Denver District Court against Denver and high-ranking police officials. The Plaintiffs, who include a legal observer for the People’s Law Project (PLP), a journalist, students documenting the march, and peaceful onlookers who observed the march legally from the sidewalks, assert that they were falsely arrested without probable cause and groundlessly prosecuted for crimes they did not commit, in violation of the First and Fourth Amendments.

Watch video of Plaintiff Tiffany Bray as her arresting officer swears under oath that Bray was “marching in an illegal formation” and given an order to disperse by Sgt. Foster.

Watch video of Plaintiff Chase Goll as his arresting officer swears under oath that Goll disobeyed “3 separate orders” to disperse given by Sgt. Foster.

Watch a video of Plaintiff Eli Hardy as DPD Officer Sutton swears under oath that Hardy disobeyed a dispersal order given 3 times over a loudspeaker by Sgt. Foster.
