The city of Detroit has filed a lawsuit against Black Lives Matter activists, claiming that the group organized a ‘civil conspiracy’ and the protests in the city “have repeatedly turned violent, endangering the lives of police and the public.”
The Detroit Police Department and the city itself are suing Detroit Will Breathe, an umbrella organization of BLM activists. The city claims the organization engaged in a civil conspiracy to incite riots, destroy property and commit acts of violence against police officers during the summer protests and the city should be awarded damages.
The lawsuit alleges that injuries to police officers included “cracked vertebrae, lacerations, and concussions,” according to The Intercept.
Detroit Will Breathe’s claims that the demonstrations should be protected under the First Amendment, the report said.
Yeah, let’s see how far they get.
