This is a successful federal lawsuit against the Providence Police Department for violating the "clearly established" free speech rights of two protesters at a fundraiser in Roger Williams Park for then-Gubernatorial candidate, Gina Raimondo. The suit alleges that the police department's actions amounted to a "willful" violation of the "constitutionally protected right of people to peaceably assemble and demonstrate in public parks," and seeks various court imposted remedies, including monetary damages.
