The New York Police Department has reached an extensive settlement with the ACLU after attacking protests during the protests in 2020. Police will be banned from kettling - the practice of confining demonstrators into small areas - and using 'intimidating' helicopters - while the taxpayers foot the $1.45million bill for an 'oversight review committee.' During the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in the city, the NYPD 'pepper sprayed demonstrators, struck them with batons, hit pedestrians with bicycles and trapped protestors in closed spaces.'
