This morning, #Ferguson protesters went to court asking U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson to issue a temporary restraining order against excessive use of police force against peaceful protesters. Among the plaintiffs is also Steven Hoffman, who was targeted for tear gas and had guns pointed at him by police while serving as an NLG Legal Observer. What theyre doing is punishing people for being out protesting, said lawyer Thomas B. Harvey. Its having a chilling effect on their First and Fourth Amendment rights. Other counsel includes King Downing of the NLGs National Police Accountability Project. Read more about the case (Templeton, et al. v. Dotson, et. al) at the link.
