SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 27 – The Mott Haven
protests in The Bronx on June
4, 2020, attacked by the
police, have given rise to
another
lawsuit.
Filed in
the docket of the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
on November 26, the day after
Thanksgiving, and found there
that day by Inner City Press,
the lawsuit names NYPD's
Commissioner and numerous
officers.
The
complaint says more than 250
people participated in the
Mott Haven protests.
It says the
kettling strategy the NYPD
deployed "derives from a
German military tactic of
encircling an enemy army with
a superior force before
annihilating the trapped
military force."
The case is

New York, et al., 21-cv-10082
