Hope you don't bust a gut laughing too hard.
During the BLM riots .....oops I mean mostly peaceful protests ; significant damage was done in the city especially to mom and pop businesses. At least 450 were damaged and many remain closed to this day.
NYC and the Courts awarded the businesses $10 thousand in compensation for having their life work destroyed by the marauders

There were some arrests made . Those arrested filed a class action suit . The court just awarded the largest payout for mass arrests in history . Hundreds of them will receive $21,500 from the city .
Get that ? $10,000 for businesses destroyed . $21,500 for being arrested during a riot.
What did the cops do that was so henious ?
They used zip tie handcuffs and weren't wearing masks during the arrests ,(I kid you not )
New York Will Pay Millions to Protesters Violently Corralled by Police - The New York Times (nytimes.com) (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/nyregion/nypd-kettling-blm-protests-settlement.html)
“police officers responding to protests frequently failed to wear masks or to assist detained protesters in covering their noses and mouths, and on occasion even forcibly removed protesters’ masks, exposing protesters to a heightened risk of contracting COVID-19.”
Family businesses lost everything and cops and civilians were badly wounded during the BLM riots, but the police officers didn’t always wear masks when trying to control those riots."
