A group of about 70 protesters who were arrested after the 2005 inauguration of President George W. Bush will receive at least $2,000 each, according to a settlement approved in a Washington federal court.

Police had arrested the demonstrators, claiming the group was vandalizing a Washington D.C. neighborhood.

...

Two class members who claim they were assaulted by police could also receive as much as $20,000. The five class representatives are set to receive $5,000 each. The entire class, as many as 69 people, will split the remaining $160,000.

2004 inauguration they were just standing there and the cops opened up with big cans of pepper spray.
