The family of American George Floyd, who died while being detained by police, was promised to pay $27 million
Authorities in Minneapolis, Minnesota, have promised to pay $27 million to the family of George Floyd, an African-American who died at the hands of police officers during his arrest last year. This is reported by the Associated Press, citing family lawyer Ben Crump. “The road to justice will be a long one. This is just the first step,” said the lawyer, who called the decision to pay the “largest” out-of-court settlement of a civil rights dispute.
