Lawsuit proceeds against San Jose police after Trump rally
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A federal appeals court is allowing supporters of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump to move forward with a lawsuit alleging they were beaten after San Jose police steered them into a crowd of anti-Trump protesters.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that police and the city of San Jose can't claim officers have immunity from being sued in the aftermath of the June 2016 confrontation outside a Trump campaign rally.
Nineteen Trump supporters sued the city and individual officers, alleging they guided them into a violent protest, barred them from finding a safer way out, then stood by while protesters assaulted them.
San Jose City Attorney Richard Doyle says the city may appeal.
He says police did what they could to protect the supporters.

For those who may not recall, this was the vicious attack launched on Trump supporters when they left a rally in San Jose CA, during the campaign. People were hit with rocks, some like the woman in the video were pelted with eggs, elderly people had their glassed ripped off, all while the San Jose police stood by and did nothing. What took place so outrageous that even the biased ninth circuit has allowed the lawsuit to proceed.
I hate being right all the time, but let me predict it now - the police were ordered to stand down, probably by the liberal mayor.
But, but police can do no wrong when they shoot unarmed people or people in their own homes but yet these bozos get a supposed hit and by god they will sue!
"bozos"? "supposed hit"?
