NYC agrees to pay $13M settlement to protesters alleging police brutality during 2020 racial justice protests

The settlement will pay about 1,300 protesters who were arrested or injured by the NYPD.
Each protester will receive approximately $9,950 in compensation.
The lawsuit accused the NYPD of excessive force, improper arrests, and other civil rights violations.
This is the largest settlement related to protests in NYC history, avoiding a costly trial.
Several other lawsuits related to the protests have already cost NYC nearly $12 million.
