MINNEAPOLIS — The city of Minneapolis has reached a $600,000 settlement with 12 protesters who were injured during demonstrations after the May 2020 police killing of George Floyd, the American Civil Liberties Union announced Wednesday.
The agreement, which also includes numerous reforms, was accepted the same day by a federal judge, making it official after the city approved it in October.
The settlement includes an injunction that bars the city from arresting, threatening to arrest or using physical force - including chemical sprays, flash bang or concussion grenades and foam tipped bullets - against people who are engaging in lawful protests.
