One thing I've never understood is how ACLU has legal standing to file many of its suits.

I'm assuming that ACLU isn't claiming to be the injured party in suits like this current one. Are they acting as attorneys for one of the alleged victims?

Yes. Read the filing here: https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/goyette-v-city-minneapol...

For anyone who doesn’t want to read the legal complaint, the named class action plaintiff (Jared Goyette) was shot in the face by the police with a “less lethal” round[0] and nearly permanently lost his eyesight[1] after he had just finished reporting on a man who had been shot in the head by the police with a “less lethal” round.[2]
