Multiple Phoenix police officers have been disciplined after an independent report found more than a dozen Black Lives Matter protesters were charged with gang-related activity despite a lack of "credible" evidence.
In October 2020, 15 protesters were jailed for "assisting a criminal street gang" following a demonstration in the Arizona capital. Prosecutors and police argued they were part of a group called ACAB, short for "all cops are bastards," a common phrase used in protests after George Floyd's death.
Months later, their felony charges were dropped. Attorneys for Maricopa County were accused of misleading a grand jury, and an investigation was commissioned by Phoenix City Manager Ed Zuercher.
The inquiry, which was spearheaded by the Ballard Spahr law firm, concluded on Thursday that "no credible evidence" backed the claim the suspects were gang members and the charges were devoid of "merit." The investigation also found that police, who claimed the group was organized “for the intent to create violence” against the police, sought to “keep things quiet” as they sought to classify a new street gang.
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams has been saddled with a one-day suspension, three assistant chiefs were demoted, and any officer in a supervisory role has been forbidden from being promoted to the rank of assistant chief if they're named in the report. Williams was said to be kept in the dark regarding the controversial charges, investigators determined.
