22. outrageous bogus attack trying to smear him as racist or abetting racism

from that very article you posted

Attorney Daniel Pfeifer, who represents the officers, said Tuesday the two sides had recently reached what he called a “tentative agreement, subject to council approval” over the tapes. But on Monday, the council voted 9-0 to reject any settlement agreement that may have been reached in mediation.

Pfeifer said he was “still scratching his head” over the council’s unanimous vote,
because one council member and the panel’s legal counsel were involved in negotiating the tentative agreement.

Council President Tim Scott declined to comment on the vote or the negotiations, citing a policy not to discuss litigation.
