Gugino’s attorneys filed the federal lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court. The 55-page complaint alleges Gugino’s civil rights were violated when officers pushed him to the ground and injured him outside City Hall following a racial justice protest last June.
“He s seeking compensation for severe injuries he suffered as a result of being a victim of police violence,” said Richard Weisbeck, one of Gugino’s attorneys from the Buffalo law firm Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria, “and he wants to continue to protect and reinforce his constitutional rights and the rights of his fellow citizens to be able to walk into public places and have their voices heard.”
