Perhaps the city paid up because they did in fact beat and incarcerate protestors, violating their rights. You know like the Tweet claims? Just not a possibility huh?

I would believe this as a possibility if NYC was not filled with Activist DA's , Activist Prosecutors and Activist Judges. They are all on the same side and all using Tax money to give back to criminals

I’m sure there were a few instances but law firms know that once they have at least something, the city will
Settle as long as they deem it “cheaper” than fighting the case. In the long run, this strategy winds up costing a lot more than fighting every case because there’s no deterrence factor when suing the city. During the last decade, settlements have exploded. The city pays out about $1.5 billion in settlements and the NYPD is only quarter of that.

You make a good point about cities and companies settling because it's cheaper in the long run. But I don't know about your claim. They arrest hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people in NYC every day. That would be plenty of opportunity for people to make bogus claims that result in settlements. But not a chance most of those people are suing so that leaves us to look at the small number (in percentages) that do sue and the behavior of the officers in the cases that do settle.

Not in today's world - BLM got away with most everything - but dare to be in DC on J6 that's another story. This is Fergie - "If you are not unequivocally for the total annihilation of “Israel,” your soul is rotten." We should have given him an all expense one way ticket to Gaza.
Ignore him. It's not like $24K can do much beyond proving why it doesn't matter if you give money to certain people or not...they just make poor financial decisions in their quest for one more moment in the limelight.
