The reports investigated two cases: protesters being charged as gang members and police creating a challenge coin for a protester they injured.
An independent investigation commissioned by the city has found that police and prosecutors trumped up charges with “egregious” testimony that contained “false and incomplete information.”
The scene depicted on the coin reportedly commemorates an incident where a Phoenix cop struck a protester in the groin with a smoke canister in August 2017.
