Trump Supporters Hit by Eggs, Punches Can Sue Cops After Attack, Court Says
Lucia Suarez Sang reports at FoxNews.com:
Supporters of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump who were met with flying eggs and punches from counter protesters during a June 2016 San Jose campaign rally can sue the city's police for allegedly failing to protect them, a new court ruling said.
Trump supporters -- many sporting red Make America Great Again hats -- who were attending a rally at the McEnery Convention Center were met with hundreds of anti-Trump protesters as they were shepherded out of the building via a single exit.
The suit's 20 plaintiffs claim in a lawsuit that police knowingly ordered them to leave through an exit where protesters were waiting, despite the existence of a safer route and other exits, the San Francisco Chronicle reported last week.
