       Civil rights lawyers win $1.17 million settlement from Baton Rouge police for illegal arrests of protesters. Among the gems that led the city to settle were that the police filled out multiple sworn affidavits on the reasons for arrest before going to the protests. The only officer the city investigated after the mass arrests was one who complained that the arrests were unconstitutional. 🤦 #CivilRights #LawFedihttps://www.law360.com/articles/1577517/how-baton-rouge-activists-won-a-rare-civil-rights-settlement
