"Contreras said Singh was so shaken by the encounter that his attorneys pushed the judge to declare a mistrial on the grounds that Morales was trying to intimidate a party to the case. After the judge declined to grant their motion, the two sides agreed to settle for an unspecified amount of money, Contreras said. Larger settlements require a final sign-off from the City Council."
"according to video posted on social media. Morales posted a clip on his Instagram account in which he can be heard demanding to know whether Singh still wants to "burn LAPD to the ground" and asking whether he is a member of "antifa." The barrage of questions continued as the group walked up Hill away from the courthouse, the video shows."
Attorneys for documentary filmmaker Vishal Singh reached a settlement in his excessive-force lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles after the first day of the civil trial. The settlement followed an outside-courthouse confrontation in which Tomas Morales, an alt-right livestreamer, accosted Singh while recording and posted a clip demanding to know whether Singh wanted to “burn LAPD to the ground” and whether he was “antifa.” Singh was shaken by the incident and attorneys sought a mistrial, which the judge declined to grant. The parties then agreed to an unspecified settlement amount. Jurors had viewed videos showing LAPD officers using excessive force during the 2021 protest. Larger settlements require City Council sign-off.
