TechDirt here is reporting and commenting on the existence of a news article by another source, namely Reason. The original article is here.

The underlying settlement and court order is here.

TechDirt is adding additional information that the Reason article didn't have, including some facts in addition to the commentary.

Just FYI, but reason magazine is a center of right libertarian news source owned by the Reason Foundation.

In the past they have been highly critical of all things Urban, and were actively anti-mass transit, which I have found vexxing. Just keep that in mind when reading their media.

Fun fact:

Reason Foundation cofounder Robert Poole is an MIT-trained engineer and the author of Cutting Back City Hall.[7] The book provided the intellectual support for Margaret Thatcher's privatization efforts in the United Kingdom.

It's true. On issues of police violence, right-libertarians and progressives tend to be pretty well aligned, though. Right-libertarian authors like Radley Balko have been beating that drum for many years.
