When Entitled Corrupt Cops were Sued for $5 Million | Qualified Immunity Denied
In this shocking case, Boulder police officers unlawfully detained and harassed Zayd Atkinson, a Black college student, while he was simply picking up trash outside his own residence. The viral incident led to a major civil rights lawsuit—Atkinson vs. Boulder Police—where justice was finally served.
💰 The lawsuit resulted in a "$5 million" settlement, and in a rare move, the court denied the officers’ qualified immunity, holding them accountable for their actions. This case serves as a major precedent in the fight against police misconduct and abuse of power.
