Denver will pay $350,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by a man who said he was needlessly tackled, punched and beaten in the genitals by police officers while protesting the sweep of a homeless encampment three years ago. The City Council, during its meeting on Monday afternoon, approved the settlement in a unanimous vote. The payout stems from a lawsuit brought last year by Michael Jacobs against more than a dozen Denver police officers. Jacobs was attending a protest in Civic Center on July 29, 2020, related to the city clearing out an encampment of people experiencing homelessness.
