The family of George Floyd, whose murder by a Minneapolis police sparked worldwide protests, announced Wednesday that they are suing the city for his death.

Attorney Benjamin Crump said the family filed the wrongful death lawsuit in the Federal District Court in Minneapolis, even though the four officers involved in Mr Floyd's death have yet to go on trial on murder and related charges.

Mr Floyd's death touched off riots and demonstrations in Minneapolis, neighbouring Saint Paul and across the country over police mistreatment of African-Americans. In May 2019, Minneapolis was ordered to pay $20 million to the family of a yoga teacher killed by a police officer as she sat in her car.

You mean 'alleged murder' right?

Here’s surveillance video showing officers trying to insert Floyd into the cruiser. It turned up about three weeks after the riots and looting commenced.

Justines Family were forced to do the same. Typical leftist admin,let someone else shoulder any blame.

Probably the only way the police will be held accountable.

Lol they might want to read the full transcripts first. As I don't think you can sue for drug overdose......
