A civil rights lawsuit filed by former council member Natalie “Tali” Bruce alleges Cottonwood Heights officials planned to break up a 2020 protest critical of its police department and arrest participants “to retaliate against them for daring to speak.'

Protesters are tackled by Cottonwood Heights police officers during a march Sunday, Aug. 2, 2020, in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. The protest was a "March for Justice" focused largely around Zane James, who was fatally shot by police in Cottonwood Heights in 2018.

The lawsuit alleges that Police Chief Robby Russo planned to interrupt the protest and make arrests, while city manager Tim Tingey and others approved of the plan. Videos from that day show a chaotic scene after officers arrived and began arresting people in the roadway. “OK, we can disperse,” the protester said, raising his hand to point at the group rallying behind him. An officer dressed in a green jumpsuit, later identified as Chris McHugh, appears in frame and, without verbal warning, handcuffs the man speaking with Brimhall.
