A lawsuit brought by Seattle protesters – who claim having to buy expensive anti-police protective gear deprives them of their First Amendment rights – is “out of bounds,” criminal defense attorney Brian Claypool said Friday. “You’ve got to be kidding me that you’re asking a court that taxpayers should pay for protective gear,” Claypool told "Fox News @ Night" host Shannon Bream during the show’s Night Court segment. “Rest assured that if these protesters win this lawsuit you’re going to see more police officers injured and more protesters injured," Claypool added. He said it could become a slippery slope if the protesters lose the lawsuit. “So maybe the better lawsuit is the peaceful protesters suing the no-so-peaceful protesters.”The Seattle City Attorney’s office said it is looking into the claims and intends to defend the city.
