District Resident Sues City Officials Over Clearing Of Protester Encampments

Dionte Coley is suing the city for separating him from most of his money and valuable personal possessions during an encampment clearing in the Black Lives Matter Plaza area in June.


What the DC Government did here was egregious.


What the D.C. Government did here was wrong. It reflects the callous disregard for the people the Government is supposed to serve and the police are supposed to protect.
