The city of Minneapolis agreed Friday, March 12 to pay $27 million to settle a federal civil lawsuit from the family of a late African-American man over his death in police custody.

“This city needs to demonstrate responsible leadership in the face of a horrific tragedy that is truly a watershed moment for America.”
Floyd’s family has alleged in their lawsuit that the four officers involved in the death of their loved one violated his rights when they stopped him and that the city allowed a culture of excessive force, racism and impunity to flourish within its police force.
