I hope this happens in every city where the Democrat Mayor and City Council told their Police to stand down and not enforce the law against violent BLM/Antifa rioters, looters, arsonists and thugs hurting and killing people and destroying property. These mayors are criminally negligent and should be personally held liable.
The mother of a 19-year-old who was gunned down last month in Seattle’s so-called Capitol Hill Organized Protest, or CHOP, filed a wrongful-death claim against the city Monday claiming that the dangerous environment likely contributed to her son bleeding out in the street for 20 minutes, a report said.
The Seattle Times reported that a lawyer for Donnitta Sinclair Martin, the mother of Horace Lorenzo Anderson, Jr., said the city failed in its duty to protect her son. She said her son was not an activist but was there to learn about the Black Lives Matter movement.
"I feel like my son was not properly served,” she said, according to the paper. “I feel like nobody cared. Lorenzo was fighting all his life and now I have to fight for him.”
The claim painted a chaotic scene in the early morning hours of June 20. The claim, which was filed by the Herrmann Law Group, reportedly said that there is a video showing a man imploring medics for the Seattle Fire Department to respond to the scene. The man was yelling, “You guys could be saving this man’s life right now.”

The supreme court has ruled that the police have no duty to protect anyone, so it remains to be seen whether a lawsuit against the city will prevail.

Well you never know, but when a City actually helps, supports and enables violence to go on for weeks and months that could be seen as criminal negligence. So, it just wasn't the Police not protecting, it was the City actually helping to create and sustain a dangerous, lawless situation.

Yes, a case could be made provided the attorney frames the lawsuit in a way that avoids reliance on duty to protect. Cities (and private parties) have lost civil liability cases when they have been found negligent in allowing dangerous conditions to persist.

Since the city failed to provide for equal protection of the citizens in the CHAZ area, they are guilty of violating the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. That turns this into the same kind of civil rights case that we would have if a black person got lynched in the South backwoods because the law turned a blind eye to what the good old Klan boys were doing.
