The suit centers on an incident that occurred at 12th and L streets northwest in downtown D.C., where police allegedly surrounded a group of individuals after rioters began causing property damage and throwing items at police.
D.C. attorney Jeffrey Light filed the suit on behalf of a Colorado attorney, who was in the group that was allegedly kettled in. Light said among those rounded up were reporters, legal observers and medics who didn’t break the law.
“What they [the police] can’t do is round up everybody who was there and indiscriminately arrest everybody who happened to be on the block,” Light said. People in the group were detained for hours and were subjected to excessive use of force by police, which included the use of pepper spray and batons, according to Light.

Guilty by association!! If they didn't want to be reeled in with the criminals they should have moved to another area!!! LOCK THEM UP!!!!
Yes they can...They rioters were actually reporters and thought they could just hide in plain sight like the Viet cong did.
These protest pigs need to get out of this country they are useless pieces of crap
Waaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaa I got arrested for being part of a riot and I have to blame somebody else!! NO! You were there had plenty of time to get out of there so now you suffer like you should!

That is how it is these days.NO ONE wants to own up to THEIR MISTAKES. It is always SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT. Even as simple as a relationship.It is never THEIR FAULT.Trust me I know. Girlfriend blames everyone else for her MISTAKES,mostly me.
10 yrs please SEND A MESSAGE.
Cuff 'em and stuff 'em. Real bail; real trials; real time and extended probation, plus make restitution.
So I guess none of you high moral angels have never been in the wrong place at the wrong time through no fault of your own? You don't have the first bit of intelligence of what happened but you want to "cuff 'em, and stuff 'em".
Just FYI, everyone has rights, not just the ones you want to have them.
