LaToya Ratlieff’s life was changed forever four and half years ago when Fort Lauderdale Police Department shot her with a rubber bullet during a peaceful protest over George Floyd’s murder. On Tuesday, after years of legal battles, a $1.9 million settlement was approved.

The Fort Lauderdale City Commission finalized the approval of the $1,975,000 settlement Tuesday night during a public meeting.

Democrat rioters get large pay-outs. Conservative protesters get years in prison. Don’t tell me there isn’t two standards of justice in our nation.

Just curious: How much did the people who lost businesses, who lost property, lost cars, how much did they get from these terrorists?

Peaceful protest for George Floydd? At least that POS is dead. You can’t stop ignorant people doing ignorant things but paying them for doing it is the liberal way.

Let me add some political context to this story.

Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) is the #1 or #2 most Hard Left county in the state of Florida - in EVERY election.

Only Gadsden County, in the Panhandle, which is 55% Black, sometimes votes more Left than Broward.

Let me add some shocking historical context...

In 1964, Broward County voted 85,000 to 68,000 in favor of Barry Goldwater!

I wish I could get shot with a rubber bullet for almost $2 million.

Here are her real or over exaggerated injuries. Some of which can be faked. They cannot be disproven. Such as migraines and mental trauma. Nerve damage?>>>>>>>>>

LaToya Ratlieff suffered severe injuries during a Black Lives Matter protest in Fort Lauderdale on May 31, 2020. The incident occurred when police officers used rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, resulting in Ratlieff being struck in the face12.

Injuries Sustained
Broken right eye socket: The impact of the rubber bullet caused significant damage to Ratlieff’s facial structure2.

Nerve damage to the right eye: This injury potentially affected her vision and eye function2.

20-stitch gash on her forehead: The wound left a scar, indicating the force of the impact2.

Persistent migraines: Ratlieff continues to suffer from headaches as a result of her injuries2.

Mental trauma: The incident has had lasting psychological effects on Ratlieff2.

Long-Term Impact
Ratlieff’s life has been profoundly altered by these injuries. She describes her experience as a transformation from what she once considered normal to a life marked by persistent trauma and disability1. The physical and emotional toll of the incident has been significant, affecting her daily life and well-being.

The only good news is that George Floyd remains dead. Worms feast on his humongous lips.

I will speculate that LaToya Ratlieff has also claimed full disability and receives a monthly Soc-Sec or SSI check, plus Medicare or Medicaid, plus max Food Stamps, plus max Rental Assistance.

100%. Leftists run that city. While they publicly “tsk tsk” the massive payout, they’re likely all too happy to soak the taxpayers for millions to give to a person who was participating alongside violent protests.

She apparently had tried using the cop and failed.
