ACLU says racial justice demonstrators were trapped and kettled on Swann Street last summer. DC s police union says they were rioters. Author: Bruce Leshan Updated: 7:45 PM EST March 10, 2021
WASHINGTON D.C. s police union is slamming a report on law enforcement tactics during this summer s Black Lives Matter demonstrations.
The union chair called the ACLU analysis fraudulent, one-sided, and said divorced from reality.
The ACLU wants the city to tweak its law on first amendment assemblies to keep police from kettling, or trapping protesters. The 18-page ACLU report focuses on the mass arrests of racial justice protestors on Swann Street N.W. on June 1 and June 2, 2020.
