The lawsuit was filed on June 5, 2020, by the local advocacy group Don’t Shoot PDX and eventually six named protesters. In addition to the financial settlement, the Portland Police Bureau will "decommission all remaining inventory" of its rubber ball distraction devices, similar to flash-bang grenades. A federal judge will oversee the injunction and retain the authority to enforce it for the next 14 months. After that, the city can ask for the case to be dismissed.
