Five protesters who attended a June 1 protest where Richmond police officers deployed tear gas at the Robert E. Lee monument are suing the officers for their actions.
The class action lawsuit, filed in federal court Tuesday afternoon, seeks undisclosed monetary damages for violating the protesters’ First Amendment, Fourth Amendment and 14th Amendment rights and for assault, battery and gross negligence.
The plaintiffs are Richmond residents Jarrod and Megan Blackwood, Ryan Tagg, Christopher Gayler and Keenan Angel. They are being represented by Thomas H. Roberts & Associates, a law firm that handles personal injury and civil rights claims. The plaintiffs are suing individually and “on behalf of a class of similarly situated individuals,” meaning anyone who was at the June 1 protest.
The defendants are the police officers, who have not yet been identified, who participated in, encouraged or authorized the attack on protesters.
