New Yorkers arrested in 2020 BLM protests poised to get $13M in historic settlement with protesters
New York City has agreed to pay out $13 million to more than a thousand New Yorkers arrested in the summer 2020 George Floyd demonstrations, marking one of the largest settlement agreements with protesters in a class-action suit in U. S. history, according to court records filed late Wednesday.
About 1,380 people arrested during protests between May 28 and June 4, 2020 in 18 Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods are slated to each receive at least $9,950 plus lawyers’ fees, under the terms of the proposed Manhattan federal court settlement with New York City, which U. S. District Judge Colleen McMahon must approve. Attorneys’ fees are expected to be in the millions.
New Yorkers joined millions nationwide following the Black Minnesota man’s killing by white former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, now serving time for murder, taking to the streets for weeks in record numbers to protest police brutality and systemic racism.
EDITORS NOTE: I live here. I seen it. I dont want to hear shit about "Oh crime is high there." Oh its the liberals. There is one borough which is redder than blood and thinks that Trump is Jesus, would skip Church and other events, just to attend his rallies. So before you even spout about "liberal city". Dont. And if you dont like NYC - how come we got the highest tourist destination with the Macys Fireworks, Rockerfeller Center, and New Years Eve.
