Denver Will Pay $130,000 To Settle Police Retaliation Lawsuits

Denver city officials will pay $130,000 to settle two lawsuits accusing police officers of retaliating against homeless rights advocates for filming and criticizing police activity. Denver City Council on Monday approved settlements in the lawsuits filed by advocates Regan and Bo Benson in 2023, according to a news release from the law firm Newman McNulty. The first lawsuit claims Denver Police Department Officer John Schaal retaliated against the Bensons in August 2021 after the couple spotted a group of police officers sitting in their vehicles in a private parking lot near the 800 block of South Huron Street and pulled over to start filming them.
