Description
Following a $10 million settlement agreement between the City of Seattle and injured protesters from 2020, local activists are hoping change is on the way.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit say police used violent tactics that caused them to suffer broken bones, concussions, emotional damage and even a heart attack.
