CHARLOTTE — Charlotte City Council will review the settlement in a use of force lawsuit on controversial police tactics on Nov. 16, according to an attorney for protestors.
The lawsuit named the City of Charlotte, two former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department chiefs, Johnny Jennings and Kerr Putney, two majors, a deputy chief, a sergeant and a lieutenant as defendants.
In 2020, protestors say officers herded them to an area to be trapped and gassed during a protest in response to the Minneapolis police murder of George Floyd.
