Two freelance photographers have filed a federal lawsuit against police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, alleging that they were unlawfully shot with rubber bullets during a protest over police racism in 2020.

The lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin on July 4 by photographers Alyssa Schukar and Scott Olson who claim their civil rights were violated by law enforcement while they were both documenting the demonstrations.
