A new lawsuit says the city of Seattle and Washington state failed to protect protesters from drivers who could injure or kill them while also allowing protesters to be injured by the police response. 

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit announced Friday include the family of Summer Taylor, who was killed by a driver on I-5 in July, and protester Daniel Gregory, who was shot during a demonstration on Capitol Hill in June.
