Minneapolis To Pay Out $8.9M For Ex-Cop Derek Chauvin’s Sins [VIDEO]

While we all sheltered Derek Chauvin was caught on video murdering George Floyd in a fashion so heinous that it sparked protests around the world.  Because of that viral video ex-police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in prison.

But the story isn’t quite over yet, because now Minneapolis is going to have to pay out 8.9M for the sins of their ex-employee Derek Chauvin.

The city of Minneapolis agreed Thursday to 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 the same move to kill George Floyd.  John Pope Jr. will receive $7.5 million and Zoya Code will receive $1.375 million. The settlements were announced during a meeting of the Minneapolis City Council.
