About Robbie Tolan

ROBBIE TOLAN has spent the past decade fighting for the rights of black victims seeking justice when dealing with police officers and the judicial system. His law-making case, Tolan v. Cotton, has set the precedent in the way judges are allowed to grant police officers qualified immunity. Since its ruling in 2014, Tolan’s case has been cited in and helped thousands of cases involving police brutality. Tolan’s foundation, Project 1231, is dedicated to making sure that victims of police brutality get the support they need. He currently lives in Houston.
