Racial justice activists awarded $14 million in landmark case against Denver police

DENVER, March 25 (Reuters) - A federal court jury on Friday awarded $14 million to a dozen activists who sued Denver police, claiming excessive force was used against peaceful protesters during racial injustice demonstrations following the death of George Floyd in 2020.

The city of Denver has previously settled several civil complaints stemming from the police response to the Floyd protests, but the lawsuit decided Friday was the first such case in the nation to go to trial, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents several of the plaintiffs.

The verdict, delivered after about three hours of jury deliberations, capped a three-week trial in U.S. District Court in Denver.
