George Floyd’s family settled a suit against Minneapolis for $27 million over his death in police custody. It’s among the largest in a misconduct case.

The settlement was announced as Derek Chauvin, the former officer who knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck, sat less than a mile away in a courtroom where jurors were being chosen for his trial. He has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Me: Bet George Floyd’s family think George was worth more dead than alive – all of those millions to spend instead!!
I think it is wrong to pay out money for the mistaken death, or any other death, for that matter – it gives the idea that families can be paid off with money, but has no bearing on the dead person, at all.
