The father of a child who was hit with pepper spray during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Seattle has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging assault and negligence by police officers. FOX13
Seattle’s police watchdog on Friday released the results of several investigations stemming from complaints over officer conduct during anti-racism protests, finding in the most high-profile case that an officer did not mean to pepper-spray a young boy.
An investigation by the Office of Police Accountability determined the boy’s injuries were "inadvertent" and not excessive force or a violation of policy. The officer was trying to spray another protester and struck the child instead, OPA said. The lawsuit filed by the boy’s father, Armand Avery, alleges the child was in agony and was treated at a hospital for chemical burns. It says the city and officers violated the law against discrimination because Avery and his son are Black and the protest "was intended to address disproportionate excessive force used unjustly against African Americans and other people of color."
