Tirado’s case may be just one of many, but her suit going forward is a major step toward actually achieving some kind of accountability. The case won’t go to trial until late 2022 (the pandemic has backed up an already notoriously slow justice system), but her lawyers are confident that the evidence they have compiled is compelling.

Unless a settlement is reached, a win for Tirado in federal court would not simply just be for her. A verdict in her favor would be a part of federal case law, and a precedent that journalists who face police violence could reference. That’s a legal weapon press freedom advocates would utilize to inspire real change in how American police treat protesters and the press.
