George Floyd's family reaches $27M settlement with Minneapolis
The city of Minneapolis has settled a lawsuit with the family of George Floyd for $27 million, attorneys for Floyd’s family said Friday. The settlement comes almost a year after Floyd died in police custody, an event that ignited a summer of protests against police brutality.

If that doesn't taint the Jury Pool I don't know what will.
ReplyDeleteHow don't they have a change in venue in this case?
Bullshit!

I was going to post something similar. I don't think Chauvin can get a "fair trial" anywhere in the country anyway. He'll walk, either on a technicality or because the DA will screw up. Then watch "the fun" begin, again, not that "the fun" has ever really gone away. The warmer weather coming will bring the crazies back out of hibernation.

"He'll walk, either on a technicality or because the DA will screw up."
DeleteThey'll just try him on other charges until they get the correct verdict.
This so so incredibly wrong and ignorant.
ReplyDelete"Gibs!"
ReplyDeleteThat's one hell of a stimulus. It'll likely be gone in less than a year unless the lawyers put it in a trust or something along those lines
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the lawyers will put their $9M to $14M payout into a trust. Who knows, maybe they'll advise their clients to do the same (for a small fee).
DeleteCrack and Caddies for everyone !
DeleteThe reserve near me got 35k pay outs for historical wrongs. Now only people who had been forced into school prior to 1975 got the 35k. If that person was dead it was split between all their kids or grandkids.
DeleteFriend who worked at the local bank said 90% of it was gone in a week. The liquir store had a semi arriving twice a day for a week then back down to 1 a week again.
The GF payout will be squabbled over by every parebt, sibling, ex-lover and childhood friend for years. Most will end up eaten up by lawyer fees and what does go to family will be blown in a month tops.

This insurance to prevent the Baboon rampage when Chauvin's trial is over is futile. You can bet even if he gets the death penalty the Jigs will still light up the Ville.
ReplyDeletePretty rare to cash in a multimillion dollar lottery ticket that someone else paid for.

Hmmm. Now if I can only get an officer to tackle me or something as I overdose, my family can get a nice payout. Well, maybe if I was a different race they could.
ReplyDeleteMinneapolis, a collection of thousands of idiots. A micro view of the idiocracy of collective suicide by Fed.gov and various blue states. Not my circus, not my monkeys, but it will become my problem. YMMV.
ReplyDeleteBrings to mind a South Park episode about how everyone loses with these sort of "awards ".
ReplyDeleteThat’ll buy a lot of gold teeth and sneakers.
ReplyDelete"Become a meth addict and a criminal and your family will get rich".
ReplyDeleteThe important question though for his family is "will we still get our welfare checks".
They won't live long enough to spend it all. Like giving a monkey a straight razor or some such. Ohio Guy
ReplyDeleteWorthless fucking druggie dies of an overdose while stupid white cop decides to be an asshole.....family gets 27 million....brilliant....
ReplyDeleteThe taxpayers can always take one more for the team....
DeleteIf it hadn't been Floyd and Chauvin, it would have been a similar cast somewhere else. AntiFa and BLM had to get the war started and Floyd looked to be their best prospect.
DeleteIn his honor they should buy a lethal dose of fentanyl for all his friends and family.
ReplyDeleteThat's complete bullshit....
ReplyDeleteThat poor city is gonna burn this summer.
ReplyDeleteI'd say that is an almost 100% certainty, regardless of the out come of the trial. One thing IS a 100% certainty, that being me moving out of Minneapolis and likely out of the State when I retire in a couple of years. Some people in my neighborhood still have their Biden for president yards signs up, in addition to the "Justice for George Floyd and BLM.
DeleteThe city could have successfully fought this as he died from an overdose. Just another virtue signaling payoff.
ReplyDeleteAll this given by taxpayers to a guy who was being rousted for passing funny money. Such a hero!
ReplyDeleteGhetto Lottery !
ReplyDeleteIt's sure easy to spend other people's (taxpayer) money.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the majority here, the payout will kill off most of what's left of GF family.
ReplyDeleteThat's gonna buy a lot of Fentanyl
ReplyDeleteDamn, why can't i get a relative like that? some people are just lucky.
