Court Denies Summary Judgement Motion Against Our Client, CUAPB

Emma Pederson

On March 10th, 2021, the court denied the City of Minneapolis summary judgment against my client, Communities United Against Police Brutality, saying,

"The Court notes for the record that in these cases—officer involved shootings—the reasons for the public to have immediate access to specific information such as the names of the officers involved—are compelling. Our common humanity tells us we owe at least this much to the surviving family members. In addition, in her affidavit, Michelle Gross, the president of CUAPB explains that one media strategy often used by law enforcement agencies in the immediate aftermath of officer-involved killings is to vilify the victim. See Exhibit B to the Affidavit of Paul Bosman dated November 9, 2020. She explains that to be on a level-playing field with such agencies, the families of those killed and the public must have immediate access to critical information about the shooting. The Court agrees. The Court is persuaded that the families of the dead and maimed are entitled to immediately know the names of those responsible."
