George Floyd Family To Be Paid $27 Million
Minneapolis will pay a record $27 million to settle the lawsuit brought by George Floyd’s family.
Attorneys for the family called it the “largest pre-trial settlement in a civil rights wrongful death case in U.S. history.”
“When George Floyd was horrifically killed on May 25, 2020, it was a watershed moment for America,” family attorney Ben Crump said at a Friday afternoon news conference. “It was one of the most egregious and shocking documentations of an American citizen being tortured to death by a police officer…. one of the worst ever witnessed in history.”
“History will judge us for how we responded to this tragedy.”
Crump applauded Mayor Jacob Frey and council members for the settlement, saying Minneapolis was being watched in its darkest hour: “Now the city can be a beacon of hope and light and change for cities across America and across the globe.” (Read more from “George Floyd Family To Be Paid $27 Million” HERE)
