The deal reached in Manhattan federal court, if approved by a judge, will end a crowd-control tactic known as “kettling,” a term that describes officers barricading in protesters before arresting or taking other actions against them.
“Today’s agreement, stemming from the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, sets new protocols and policies in place for the NYPD when responding to spontaneous protests as we ensure that we are both protecting public safety and respecting protesters’ First Amendment rights,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement.
The deal also requires the NYPD to create a new, senior role within the department to oversee the city’s response to protests. The compliance officer should have an “extensive knowledge” of how the NYPD can respond to protests without trampling on demonstrators constitutional rights to assemble, court papers state.
During one such demonstration, in the Bronx on March 4, 2020, more than 300 protesters were confined in a barricade for several minutes before officers charged them, pepper-spraying and beating several of them, the protestors later claimed in a federal lawsuit.
