Three Phoenix officers falsely charged BLM protesters with gang crimes in 2020; department confirmed policy violations, settled for $1.2M, and enacted reforms.
In 2026, the Phoenix Police Department confirmed that three former officers violated policy in the 2020 wrongful gang charges against Black Lives Matter protesters, providing false information and undermining investigations.
The case, involving collaboration with Maricopa County prosecutors, collapsed after evidence showed no credible gang activity.
Pinal County took over, declining to charge the officers in 2025.
A $1.2 million settlement was approved for the protesters in 2024.
The department cited the incident as a failure of standards and said reforms have since been implemented to improve accountability and constitutional policing.
