(Learfield)-The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously approved a $27 million settlement agreement with the family of George Floyd.
$500,000 will go to the community around 38th and Chicago where Floyd died. Family attorney Ben Crump said “the largest pre-trial settlement in a police civil rights wrongful death case in U-S history makes a statement that George Floyd deserved better than what we witnessed on May 25th 2020.”
The council went into a closed session this morning for the vote.
