Alderman Green’s Settlement Donated to Neighborhood Recovery | St. Louis News

Published 1 month ago
Description

St. Louis Alderman Megan Green just landed a $35,000 settlement after a 2017 lawsuit over being tear gassed by police during a protest against the Jason Stockley verdict—despite a court order requiring advance warning before deploying chemical agents. Green, then an alderwoman, sought refuge at a synagogue and claims the attack caused lasting health and psychological harm. The Missouri AG’s office defended the officers, saying they acted lawfully. Now, Green’s legal team waived their fees, directing the full settlement to Invest STL, a nonprofit rebuilding neighborhoods—especially after the tornado—and she’s eyeing a racial equity initiative with the funds.
