Providence Settles Police Use-of-Force Case
The city of Providence settled a federal civil rights lawsuit for $300,000 with a man who alleged police used excessive force during a 2020 protest against police brutality. The plaintiff, Christopher Murphy, claimed officers hit him with a baton and kneeled on him while he was arresting him amid protests related to a police-involved crash. A judge found that an officer violated Murphy’s rights by using a takedown maneuver, but the case settled before trial, with the officers remaining on active duty and denying any wrongdoing.
