bighairymike: The article says the award will be split between 50 protesters who claim the police hurt their feelings ... Nothing in the article said anything about business owners receiving any sort of compensation for their destroyed and looted businesses.

Reading is hard.

From your linked article:

...one of the protesters suffered a heart attack after she was hit by a blast ball fired by the Seattle Police Department, while another plaintiff, a veteran who uses a cane, was allegedly 'gassed and tackled because he didn’t retreat fast enough.'" ... "dozens of others suffered permanent hearing loss, broken bones, concussion, wounds..."

Oh, and this:

In February, the city of Seattle agreed to pay $3.6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by more than a dozen business owners and residents whose properties faced significant damages at the hands of protesters.
