COLUMBUS — Ohio's capital city has agreed to pay $5.75 million to people injured during last year's racial injustice and police brutality protests.
John Marshall is a Columbus civil rights attorney and lead counsel on a federal lawsuit representing 32 people injured during the protests.
Marshall said Thursday that a special master will determine payouts based on protesters' individual injuries.
Columbus City Council is expected to approve the settlement next week.
The settlement also finalizes details of a federal judge's order earlier this year that Columbus police must stop using nonlethal force such as tear gas on nonviolent protesters who aren't harming people or destroying property.
