This is insane!

The city of Minneapolis reached a $27 million settlement with George Floyd’s family on Friday.

The City Council unanimously approved of the settlement on Friday as jury selection for officer Derek Chauvin’s trial continues.

George Floyd died last spring after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 8 minutes during an arrest.

We know how the trial will go.

If he’s acquitted, Minneapolis will go up in flames and there will be no stores left downtown.

If he’s convicted, Minneapolis will go up in flames and there will be no stores left downtown.

27 Mill will buy a whole lot of blow.

If there’s a hung jury, Minneapolis will go up in flames and there will be no stores left downtown.

Of course a hung jury means we might get to do it again, and again and again,...

Knowing what we all know now, understanding our world as it is now, why should anyone be surprised by this decision. Understand that this madness will continue until we are all either broke, imprisoned, or dead by those that call themselves our rulers.

The City Council members of Mogadishuapolis have no redeeming social value and are a disgrace to sentiency.

[White Lives Matter]

Yes! I agree!

This is obscene

[ronniesgal]

what a bunch of chickenshittery. Shame on them!

[ConservativeMind]

The city merely has to tax its people to put this under the rug.

Someone always owns the property and pays sales taxes.

“See? We aren’t bigots that want to kneel on your necks!”

[Abigail Adams]

This is not connected to the upcoming trial. It’s a settlement by the city.

[montag813]

That buys a LOT of fentanyl.

[FES0844]

Exactly!

[StAnDeliver]

RUH ROH. St. Bre only got 12M, and tomorrow is the Blamiversary!

[beancounter13]

Of course he doesn’t. Even so-called conservative news sites keep repeating the lie ... linking Floyd’s death with the neck restraint.

When will they actually start discussing the ‘lethal dosage of Fentanyl’?

[mo]

yaa wink wink...each city council member will receive HOW MUCH kickback on that one?

[CharlesWayneCT]

I don’t care. The people of that city voted to put those people in charge, and if those people want to give away the taxpayer money, the taxpayers can always move, or elect different people.

[setter]

The family already received $20 million for gofundme

[RetiredTexasVet]

A better lawyer than Crumb could have taken the guilt ridden fools for $100 million at least.

Waiting for the obligatory “It ain’t about the money”.
