NYC doles out millions to Floyd protestors claiming police assaulted them
Fox News
New York City agreed to pay several million dollars in a legal settlement over alleged assault, abuse, and entrapment by police during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
The city said it will also pay $21,500 per plaintiff for legal costs and an extra $2,500 to protesters who were given court appearance tickets, meaning the bill from the class-action lawsuit could be close to $10 million or more.
A judge must still approve the settlement. Plaintiffs' lawyers said they believe it would be the city's highest per-person settlement in a mass arrest class-action lawsuit and heralded it as a "historic agreement."
