Lincoln Police Protest Lawsuit Settled

The Lincoln City Council settles a civil rights lawsuit involving a woman who was hurt in a 2020 protest.

Elise Poole was seriously injured during the protest after the Minneapolis death of George Floyd, and the lawsuit accused officers of using excessive force by shooting impact munitions at peaceful demonstrators.

According to the settlement, the city of Lincoln will provide Poole with damages to close the case, but the agreement is not a legal admission of wrongdoing.
