The City of Minneapolis has settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by family members of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, Mayor Jacob Frey and other city officials announced Friday.
The family will receive $18 million under the terms of the agreement. They will also get $2 million, which they will then donate to the Fund for Safe Communities at the Minneapolis Foundation, Frey said.
Frey said the City Council had voted unanimously to approve the settlement, and he would be approving it shortly.
"This is not a victory for anyone, but rather a way for our city to move forward," Frey said. "And I do believe we will move forward united in the shared belief that such a tragedy should never occur in our city."
Frey said he could not comment on what occurred during mediation over the past couple of days, or at a settlement conference, which occurred Friday morning.

Damond ping.
After the cops conviction the writing was on the wall for the city to settle.
Quick, indeed.
Will they stop hiring Somalis?
The proceedings in the lawsuit were probably stayed until the criminal case ended. The guilt or innocence of the cop would have played a huge role in the settlement.
Sentencing on June 7.
> Will they stop hiring Somalis? <
No way. Instead they will probably use taxpayer dollars to buy more liability insurance.
“The proceedings in the lawsuit were probably stayed until the criminal case ended.”
They were.
So, the family gets $20 Million, with a 10% kickback to one of Frey's pet projects, by the sound of it. Checked his background, and he looks like the quintessential mid-30s metrosexual Demonrat. No surprise there.
Hell, the state advertises it has 10,000 lakes. Plenty of room for all their Simolians.
“Sentencing on June 7.”
Do you have any G2 on what he’s likely to get?
Listening to local lawyer-types on the radio since the guilty verdicts...
10-14 years.
Maybe.
“Hell, the state advertises it has 10,000 lakes. Plenty of room for all their Simolians.”
Yeah, let’s see if we can use a few of the to test out the theory that Somali’s can “float” with 100 Lb of concrete tied to their legs.
Don’t put any more mohammedans or turd-worlders on the police department.
Nice, but too late, and the mayor needs to be in jail and the guilty muzz needs to be executed.
Public housing residents in Minneapolis will no longer need to pay their normal monthly rent when travel abroad erases their income, a change particularly sought by East African immigrants. The board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority approved this week reverting to its previous policy of collecting only minimal rent during extended absences. The change takes effect once approved by federal housing officials, which is expected by year’s end. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

MN Housing Board to Pay Monthly Rent for Migrants Traveling Back to East Africa

The move was sought by local Minn Somalis---East African immigrants. Immigrants traveling for 30 to 90 days could apply for a hardship which will reduce their rent to $75 a month while they are gone. The Star Tribune reported: Public housing residents in Minneapolis will no longer need to pay their normal monthly rent when travel abroad erases their income, a change particularly sought by East African immigrants.
board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority approved this week reverting to its previous policy of collecting only minimal rent during extended absences. The change takes effect once approved by federal housing officials, which is expected by year’s end.
Somali Abdi Warsame, a City Council member, told the board that the policy in place for the past five years works a particular hardship on elderly East Africans who must save for long periods if they want to visit their homelands. He said that many receive federal Supplemental Security Income, which is halted when the recipient is outside the United States.
Yet the policy required people to keep paying rent, which is income-based. Travelers gone for 30 to 90 days could apply for a hardship, which meant that they paid the minimum $75 monthly rent during their absence, but were required to make up the difference between that and their normal rent over the next year or two.

Within hours of the deadly Boston Marathon blasts, US government officials, and Muslims, in Boston called each other to offer assistance......just in case THE MUZZIES suffered backlash or threats.

Within hours of the Boston Marathon blasts, government officials and Muslims in Boston called each other to offer assistance. These calls were the fruits of years of cultivating such relationships in an effort to ultimately prevent the very type of attack Boston experienced April 15....
Representatives from the US Departments of Justice and Homeland Security called to offer support to Muslim communities......just in case THEY suffered backlash or threats. (more on FR).

NTL REVIEW/BY DAVID HANSON----The Boston Bomber Brothers offer us a teachable moment about what has become near-suicidal US immigration policies.
Our sap-happy US government cannot assure the public that it is now enforcing immigration laws already on the books,
(1) that foreign nationals must at least avoid criminal activity,
(2) that foreigners must stay off public assistance,
(3) that the US govt is disinclined to grant "asylum" (means a free ride on the US gravy train and endless SS payments) to “fearful refugees” from war-torn Islamic regions,
(4) on-the-book govt mandates that force struggling taxpayers to foot the bill for the refugees to go back and forth between America and their supposedly hostile homelands on the taxpayers' dime.
==================================
THERE'S MORE---Bostonians were enraged upon discovering THEY footed the travel bills of the entire Chechneyan family to attend the trail of the surviving bomber brother.
As they planned the bombing, the family received "every conceivable public benefit available out there" amounting to some 100 thousand dollars.
The evil Tsarnaevs worked the system bigtime; the entire family pocketed, including:
(1) the two bombing suspects' parents (mother later absconded--wanted for shoplifting),
(2) the two suspects themselves,
(3) their trouble-making sisters (one arrested for bomb threats),
(4) the widow of the suspect killed, and,
(5) their child.
Could also include benefits for their Chechen "student" pals who tampered w/ bombing evidence (one is now in jail, the other going to trial).
