Each claimant is seeking damages of $2.6 million for alleged Olympia police brutality because of the use of batons, pepper spray and pepper bullets, lawyers for the four say in a news release .

The four include The Evergreen State College professor Larry Mosqueda, students Daisy Montague and Adam Kohut, and William Hamilton, a Vietnam veteran.
