Civil rights lawyers have filed a new lawsuit against the New York Police Department, alleging continued aggressive tactics against pro-Palestinian protesters in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The suit claims that police have used excessive force, false arrests, and controversial crowd-control measures, despite a previous settlement that was supposed to end such practices. Plaintiffs describe incidents of being trapped, beaten, pepper-sprayed, and arrested without justification, and are seeking court intervention to halt these actions and oversee police protest responses. The lawsuit also raises concerns about police training, suggesting it may include Islamophobic or anti-Palestinian content, and highlights individual cases of alleged mistreatment during recent demonstrations.
