The city of Charlotte, N.C., and its police department have agreed to adopt new measures that would revise dispersal methods during protests as part of a settlement with civil rights organizations.
The settlement stipulates that Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) is banned from using CS tear gas during protests as well as chemical weapons that restrict the movements of protesters, known as “kettling,” according to a press released from the North Carolina chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The settlement would also ban CMPD police from firing pepper balls at the necks and heads of demonstrators, require that police give protesters enough time to disperse and mandates that police must provide clear dispersal orders to demonstrators in both English and Spanish, the ACLU noted.
CHARLOTTE â A lawsuit over a violent Charlotte-Mecklenburg police ambush of protesters last year in uptown has been settled, with attorneys claiming that reforms of department tactics will better protect the public, limit the use of chemical munitions and hold officers more accountable for their actions.
âPeople should not be brutalized when they are exercising their right to protest,â Kristie Puckett-Williams, statewide manager of the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolinaâs Campaign for Smart Justice, said in a statement Friday announcing the settlement.
âThis agreement is a step in the right direction, but itâs insufficient to reckon with the violence and trauma protesters endured at the hands of police across the state last year.â
Settlement reached over 2020 police clash with protesters

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Civil rights groups in North Carolina have reached a settlement with the city of Charlotte and its police department in a lawsuit filed last year after officers surrounded and gassed demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd.
The terms of the agreement include extensive revisions to police directives, including a ban on the use of CS tear gas during protests, the ACLU of North Carolina said in a news release Friday. Police will also be banned from using chemical weapons to “kettle” or trap protesters under the agreement, which also says crowd dispersal orders must be communicated clearly and repeatedly in English and Spanish, allowing protesters reasonable time to disperse.
