When they sued the city, the family got $27 million

If the family could pick between having the $27 million and having George Floyd back, what do you think the family would pick?

Gee, a career criminal with mental health problems or becoming a multi-millionaire with no need to ever work again? I wonder what they'd choose?

They not only eliminated their own need to work again but also set their family for generations. They great great grandchildren will be living in luxury.

A thousand George Floyds would never have earned them that kind of money. He probably hardly ever saw them, either.

What if Chauvin is acquitted?
Will they have to pay it back?

[–] redban (6537) 3 years ago

The money came from a civil lawsuit, which is legally unrelated to Chauvin’s criminal case

What do you think the law firm charge for commission.. these people likely could not pay upfront. 40-60% would be my guess.

I assume thry will be donating it all for the cause of equality, right?

Who would profit from the death of a family member?

Or is there some cultural difference that I'm not aware of?

Imagine his family with money....Will all be gone in 5 years

More Black privilege. If the cops did that to a White person, it wouldn't have been national news and the cop would have probably been found innocent so no money for the family.

It's a double win. They don't have to put up with George anymore, plus they get rich. $27 million will buy a lot of malt liquor and Kools.
