A federal lawsuit filed against the city of Wauwatosa's handling of protesters during its October curfew in 2020 continues to unfold in court. While U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph decided that nine of the lawsuit's 14 claims will not go forward, the claims the court will consider touch on some of the most discussed controversies still lingering after two years. The ongoing lawsuit, filed by attorney Kimberley Motley and others, is one of many sparked by protest enforcement in 2020. Following the killing of George Floyd, people across southeastern Wisconsin took to the streets protesting cases of police killings and misconduct.
