The city of Minneapolis will pay nearly $9 million to settle lawsuits filed by two people who said former police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into their necks years before he used that move in the killing of George Floyd
The lawsuits stated that if the city had acted sooner to discipline Chauvin,"history could have been stopped from repeating itself with George Floyd."
"And it's actually not a Derek Chauvin problem. It's an institution problem,” Payne said. He hoped the settlements “bring some closure to this era and is a stark reminder of the work we have lying ahead.” The lawsuits said body camera recordings showed Chauvin used many of the same tactics on Pope and Code that he used on Floyd. Chauvin was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison on a state murder charge in 2021 for killing Floyd by pressing his knee to Floyd’s neck for 9 1/2 minutes as he pleaded that he couldn’t breathe. The city also paid $27 million to Floyd's family.
