The city of Seattle will pay Black Lives Matter rioters $10 million in a settlement stemming from a lawsuit related to the George Floyd riots in 2020.
“This decision was the best financial decision for the City considering risk, cost, and insurance,” said City Attorney Davison, according to Fox News. “The case has been a significant drain on the time and resources of the City and would have continued to be so through an estimated three-month trial that was scheduled to begin in May.”
“This settlement resolves the majority of the remaining claims arising out of the 2020 demonstration period and is a big step toward allowing the City to focus on the important work of today, while moving forward from events four years ago,” Davison added.

Opposite day continues.
$10 mil? You can Buy Large Mansion with that!
It’s stories like these that make me not want to know the news anymore.
We still live in Obama bizarro world.
Hey Davison. You fell for a bribe. You need to look for a job more down on your intellectual and skill level.
If the Republicans regain control of the Federal governmentthey must stop all aid to these Democratic controlled cities. Also if they continue to fund NPR and PBS then it is clear that they are not serious people.
may as well burn it
Ka-ching! Ka-ching! Who says this sh!t doesn’t pay off?
This sends the message that anyone that declares themselves a minority and member of blm can go on crime stress and not only get away with it, but also be paid blackmail money by threatening a lawsuit if cops do their jobs.
Got to get their funding delivered in time to buy fireworks and gasoline before the presidential conventions.
Let us say you are a government and want to support some cause but you know the voters would not approve, how do you fund them legally?
Simple, have them sue you. You don’t put up much of a defense, they win, and you hand over tax free money to the group.
This is also true about changing public policy. You (the governing body) support the changes but you know the voters would not approve. How do you change the policy? Have them sue you and then putting up a bare minimum defense lose and having a court rule you have to change the policy.
This is how the left has been changing our society for the past 60 years. The left, the elected officials and the courts all working together.
That’s like paying off kidnappers.
Liberals are so smart. How could we possibly survive without them?
Fishing is good in Seattle city pays very well.
That $ comes from taxpayers.
Seattle is a liberal cesspit. The writing has been on the wall for some time. Time to move for any who work for a living and want to be in a safe place with basic protections.
The The Pigford case is another prime example of how the Democrats operate to make sure that their own get taken care of. If you are not familiar with the Pigford case, it is well worth looking into and has Obama's fingerprints all over it.
Jeff Sessions, to his credit (even a blind squirrel can be right twice a day) put an end to the practice of settlement funds going to political organizations.
It sounds like rioting can be a profitable business to be in.
Maybe off topic ,but how many people ever went to jail or faced any legal consequences ,for the George Floyd riots?
Protesting pays well. $200K is a good paycheck. Wonder how long it will last?
I think you can count them on one hand. Maybe one half of a hand.
