Chuck Darwin<p>The lawsuit in question is <a href="https://c.im/tags/Buchanan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Buchanan</span></a> v. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a>, <br>a case that started in 2020 after protesters sued Trump in his official capacity and a number of other officials for unconstitutionally clearing them away from <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lafayette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lafayette</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Square" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Square</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Park" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Park</span></a> that June<br> by using chemical irritants including tear gas in as they <a href="https://c.im/tags/peacefully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peacefully</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/protested" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protested</span></a> the police killing of <a href="https://c.im/tags/George" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>George</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Floyd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Floyd</span></a>. </p><p>Trump famously walked through the park moments afterwards to visit a church and take a photo with a <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bible</span></a>.</p><p>The case has faced many twists and turns and has been litigated for years. <br>Buchanan as well as another group of plaintiffs represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in a separate lawsuit, Black Lives Matter DC v.

Chuck Darwin<p>Killings by police brought reforms.

A better approach, Solomon said, addresses poverty as a root cause of criminal activity.<br>
“We’ve had a failure to launch a more humane approach to communities that are going to produce more violence because they’ve been burdened with the violence of poverty for generations,” Solomon said. </p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/10/police-reform-rollback-tyre-nichols-floyd-breonna/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/national-se</span><span class="invisible">curity/2024/03/10/police-reform-rollback-tyre-nichols-floyd-breonna/</span></a></p>
