DENVER - A U.S. District Court Judge ordered Denver police on Friday to stop using tear gas, plastic bullets and other “less-than-lethal” force such as flash grenades against protesters.
The death of Houston native Floyd during his arrest for a non-violent offense has touched off national protests against the use of force by police.In Denver, throngs of marchers have gathered around the state Capitol every day for more than a week, chanting and carrying signs protesting Floyd’s killing.
“Nonetheless, the Denver Police Department ... and other police departments at their invitation, have engaged in injurious riot control tactics without issuing clear warnings and orders to disperse,” the complaint said. In his decision, U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson said that Denver police had “failed in its duty to police its own.”
