Fox News
The city of Philadelphia has agreed to pay $2 million to a mother who was pulled from her SUV and beaten by cops during an anti-police brutality protest.
Neither Young nor her friend’s son, whom she refers to as her nephew, were charged with a crime during the protests that erupted on Oct. 27, just hours after the police killing of Walter Wallace Jr., 27, whose family said he was having a mental health crisis when the Black man was fatally shot while holding a knife.
"Instead of fighting crime and the fear of crime, some of the officers on the scene created an environment that terrorized Rickia Young, her family and other members of the public," Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a statement.
