On June 5th, 2020, Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles (BLMLA) filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.BLMLA was represented by the National Lawyers Guild as well as the following private firms: McLane, Bednarski & Litt; Schonbrun, Seplow, Harris, Hoffman, & Zeldes; and Baum Hedlund Aristei & Goldman. Judge Consuelo B. Marshall was assigned to the case. The case arose out of the nationwide protests following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN. The complaint alleged that, over the course of a week, the LAPD arrested approximately 2,600 people who were engaged in lawful protest.

Specifically, the complaint alleged that the LAPD violated the class members' First Amendment right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association. The complaint also included a Fourth Amendment claim based on excessive force, namely use of batons and rubber bullets. Finally, a due process claim alleged that the police failed to respect the protesters' liberty interest when it held them for many hours, rather than citing and releasing them, as required by state law.

In addition, plaintiffs claimed that the LAPD violated the terms of a settlement agreement struck in 2000 that required the LAPD Incident Commander to make an evaluation as to the feasibility of isolating and arresting protesters behaving unlawfully before the LAPD arrested anyone at all. Second, plaintiffs alleged that the LAPD was in violation of a 2007 settlement agreement which dictated that the LAPD must facilitate protests and issue instructions via a loud speaker in the event that a protest blocks traffic, rather than attempt to disrupt the protest.

On June 21st, plaintiffs submitted an amended complaint and a first corrected amended complaint. The new complaint added several plaintiffs to the lawsuit (and eliminated one). More importantly, however, it divided the claims for relief by different classes. The first claim for relief was for injunctive relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and California state law to prohibit the LAPD from violating plaintiffs' First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights to protest. The second claim established an Arrest Class, composed of those protesters who were arrested in what plaintiffs called a violation of their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The third claim established a Direct Force Class, composed of individuals who had been shot with rubber bullets or hit with batons. Plaintiffs said this constituted violations of their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The fourth claim established an Infraction Class, made up of people who had been "charged with infractions, arrested and taken into custody and not released into the field" in a way plaintiffs said violated their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

On June 24th, the plaintiffs submitted an ex parte proposed emergency restraining order to enjoin the defendants from using projectiles (including rubber bullets) to disperse protestors; using batons against protestors; and detaining people charged solely with infractions for extended periods of time. In support of that motion, they submitted declarations by several of the plaintiffs which corroborated the allegations made in the complaint. Six days later, defendants issued a response to that motion, arguing that plaintiffs did not meet their burden for getting a temporary restraining order (TRO). Defendants claimed that the plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits, that they did not demonstrate that they would suffer irreparable harm absent the TRO, and that the balance of equities was not in their favor. On July 14, the court denied the TRO on the grounds that the plaintiffs had not shown that they would suffer irreparable harm without it. The court did not foreclose the opportunity of a preliminary injunction, however.

The parties requested to engage in alternative dispute resolution on September 3, 2020. The Court subsequently referred the case to the court mediation panel for mediation. The parties selected Richard T. Copeland to serve as mediator. The Court set a deadline of September 20, 2021 for settlement negotiations and set a jury trial for April 26, 2020.

The plaintiffs filed another motion for a TRO and a preliminary injunction on April 13, 2021. The plaintiffs sought to enjoin the Los Angeles Police Department from using 40 mm and 37 mm projectiles on protestors. The plaintiffs alleged that, despite the defendants promises to the court to refrain from using excessive force, the projectiles were continually fired upon non-violent protestors at extremely close range. The court granted the TRO on April 19. Judge Marshall founds that the plaintiffs were likely to exceed on their Fourth Amendment excessive force claims, given that the defendants fired the projectiles at a much closer range than is recommended. Additionally, Judge Marshall found that the plaintiffs were likely to suffer irreparable harm because the plaintiffs planned to continue organizing demonstrations, at which the defendants could likely repeat their use of excessive force. The court denied the defendants' subsequent motion to dissolve the TRO, but modified it to permit officers who completed required training to use projectile launchers after giving a warning to disperse. On May 10, the court granted the plaintiffs motion for preliminary injunction for the same order.

On July 18, 2021, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, and shortly after filed a corrected version of that complaint. This complaint added two more named plaintiffs and several state law claims alleging assault, battery, false imprisonment and arrest, and Bane Act violations.

This case remains ongoing.

AMENDED ORDER RE: RULING ON PLAINTIFFS APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER 71 75 by Judge Consuelo B. Marshall: Defendants Request to Strike Plaintiffs TRO and, in the alternative, additional time to file opposition is DENIED. The Courts previous Order is modified as follows: 1. LAPD is restricted from using the 40mm and 37mm launchers in public demonstrations except by officers who successfully completed Department training and meet all annual qualification requirements on the weapons; 2. An officer may use 40mm less-lethal munitions only when the officer reasonably believes that a suspect is violently resisting arrest or poses an immediate threat of violence or physical harm. The use of 40mm less-lethal munitions should be preceded by a warning, if feasible; 3. An officer may use 37mm less-lethal munitions as a crowd control tool only with the prior approval of the incident commander and only when a dispersal order has been issued, unless immediate action is necessary to stop violence, to ensure public safety and restore order. A warning to disperse must be given, consistent with all of the dispersal order requirements set forth in LAPD Use of Force Tactics Directive No. 11.1, and then the officer may fire the 37 mm at the ground 5 to 10 feet in front of the crowd. The 37 mm may not be used as a target specific munition unless absolutely necessary to prevent imminent serious bodily injury to the officer or others. 4. The 40mm launcher must not be used to target the head, neck, face, eyes, kidneys, chest, groin or spine of a person. 5. The 40 mm and 37 mm launchers should be fired at a distance of five feet or greater from another person, unless an officer or other person is attacked and there is a threat of imminent serious harm. This order supersedes the Order re TRO issued on April 19, 2021. IT IS SO ORDERED. (shb) (Entered: 04/28/2021)
