Lawsuit Filed Against UC Berkeley, Police, City and Members of Antifa Over Violent 2017 Riot


Four victims of the brutal violence committed by Antifa during the riot in Berkeley last February over Milo Yiannopoulos’ scheduled speaking event have filed a lawsuit against the university, the city, the police, and two of the black clad rioters that they were able to identify. 
The lawsuit names UC Berkeley, UCPD, Berkeley PD, the city of Berkeley, two of the assailants that they were able to identify — Ian Dabney Miller and Raha Mirabdal, President of the University of California Janet Napolitano and others for violating their constitutional and statutory rights during the riot in February, 2017. 
“By their failure to intervene or employ reasonable tactical methods to ensure the safety of the Plaintiffs and the public, government actors conducted their official duties with deliberate indifference to the Plaintiffs’ safety, permitting hordes of violent rioters to swarm the university campus in a violent rage. By their failure, government actors are thus responsible for creating and exposing Plaintiffs to known and obvious danger,” the lawsuit states. 
Miller(pictured above), the first assailant who is named, is an employee of UC Berkeley and member of the communist political group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN). He was identified after tweeting a photo of himself standing over Jennings captioned with “hey come get your boy. He got ROCKED #miloatcal.” 
Miller continued to brag about the assault on social media, tweeting “…body punches and then i [sic] take him down to the ground. Some good Samaritans come and pull me off of him and, as always happens in these cases, *i* take a couple of weak shots to the face.” He added that it was “worth it” and that he will “never forget that dude falling over the bike wheel.”
