"The lawsuit alleges that the munitions launched into the crowd were not directed at any of the people who were pushing on the fence line, and that police did not warn the crowd before shooting."
"The plaintiffs allege that police actions caused serious injuries to thousands of protestors, including those not directly named in the lawsuit, resulting in physical and emotional damages."
"The actions of the police caused physical and emotional injuries, including but not limited to chemical burns, concussive trauma, emotional distress, and other damages to plaintiffs, class members and thousands of other protesters."
Alan E. Fischer III and other plaintiffs filed a class action lawsuit against Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police, alleging indiscriminate firing of non-lethal munitions into a peaceful crowd during the January 6 protests. The lawsuit claims that police actions caused serious physical and emotional injuries to thousands of protesters, including chemical burns and emotional distress. The plaintiffs seek monetary damages, a jury trial, and a ruling that police assaulted and battered protesters. Fischer, a member of the Proud Boys, faced criminal charges but received a pardon from President Trump.
