Minneapolis will pay $27 million to settle a lawsuit brought by George Floyd’s family, a new record for a police payout in the city.
After a roughly 40-minute meeting, City Council members voted unanimously to approve the settlement, and Mayor Jacob Frey’s office said he will approve it as well.
Of the $27 million, $500,000 will be used “for the benefit of the community around 38th and Chicago,” where Floyd died.
