"Supreme Court Denies BLM Activist's Appeals in Lawsuit and Protest Cases"
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson, who faces a lawsuit from a police officer injured during a protest he led in Baton Rouge in 2016. The officer alleges Mckesson was negligent under Louisiana law for failing to prevent violence during the demonstration. The court's decision not to intervene does not express a view on the merits of Mckesson's claim, and the case will continue in the lower courts.
