MINNEAPOLIS — The city of Minneapolis has reached a $27 million settlement with George Floyd's family just weeks before the trial is scheduled to begin for the former officer charged with murder in his death.

The City Council unanimously approved the settlement Friday after adding the matter to its agenda for a closed session

Floyd's family filed a federal lawsuit in July against the city and the four officers involved in the arrest that led to his death. The lawsuit took issue with neck restraints and police policies and training, among other things. It sought compensatory and special damages in an amount to be determined by a jury.

Become a meth-addicted criminal, and your family can reap the reward.

But first, you must live in a large, socialist urban sewer like Minneapolis.

Half of it will belong to Crump and after the Floyd family is done fighting over what’s left that will be gone in month.

They reinstated the 3rd degree murder charge, the jury might be personally scared enough to find a charge regardless of the evidence.

Number one, in his lifetime this guy probably wouldn’t have earned $500,000 dollars.

From other people. That’s the very easiest money to spend.

The other 26.5 million should be distributed among the American citizens for OUR pain and suffering having to watch this a billion times.

Maybe the city should be more concerned about the hundreds of millions of dollars in damages that occur during the “mostly peaceful” protests.
