A proposed settlement filed in federal court late Tuesday said the city would compensate about 320 people who participated in the protest June 4, 2020, in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx borough.
“The settlement, in our view, reflects an acknowledgment by the city that the NYPD’s actions in Mott Haven on June 4 were tragically wrong," Joshua Moskovitz, an attorney for the protesters, said Wednesday. Hundreds of protesters who were demonstrating against police brutality and racism after Floyd's death were encircled and corralled by a group of police officers wearing riot gear and riding bicycles in a controversial practice known as “kettling.”
“This is believed to be the highest per-person settlement in a mass arrest class action lawsuit in New York City history,” they said.
Just send the asteroid already.
Good, then prosecute them for damages they caused!
We need a new word to describe NYC. 💩hole is no longer sufficient
Actually the sadistic murder took place 1600 miles away in Minnesota by one lunatic cop. NYPD maybe took offense at being screamed at. Went too far.
NYCisadump POS 🤡’s
Free rides for all potential voters.
Those businesses that were destroyed should sue every last one of those getting the 21k. This country is coming unraveled!
As the NYCMayor ask agencies to cut their budgets. Well, except NYPD. NYPD is a liability.
We are all descendants from the same Black ancestors. We don't all identify as Black, but we should.
WTF 🤫
🤡 show
Hey they are double dipping. N Y pays them and george sorrows Paid them.
This is bull..cops should receive $ for all the abuse they took
Who is actually paying for this!
So they are paying them for vandalizing, burning, looting and throwing projectiles at the police? Oh..ok, well that make sense.
Such bull shit no wonder the city is broke
Ridiculous.
Awesome!
Whole state is a joke!
Typical liberal left supporting violence!
Are they INSANE!!!...Whose running that city, give it a rest already...
Yea that’ll make ‘‘em think twice when doing this type of shit
They can use that money to pay for the damages to property.
Bull 💩
Wait. I was out there peacefully protesting. Can I get some money.
NYC continues its slide into total dysfunction
Glorifying the supporters of a glorified violent criminal
It was mostly a 'peaceful' protest lol
Those folks who were arrested should be paying the cops.
Unbelievable
At least ..within their humanly ethics ...finally ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Of course it’s NYC
GordonM06867483 Firey but mostly peaceful!
Yet, J6 protesters were arrested and are STILL being held!!!
You have got to be kidding!!
Rewarding criminals. Great.
Wow this is beyond ridiculous. Just wasting tax payers monies.
Clown world.
More pandering.
a new form of employment now.
only problem i see with this is tax payers are footing the bill when it should be the individual cops paying for their own mess up
Is this real? These people trashed the city. They set everything on fire, they looted, they used force. Why doesn’t the city give that money to the owners of the shops,cars etc these protesters vandalized and stole from? I can’t believe this. What is happening
Oh BS 🙄
There was lawlessness, destruction of private property and looting. Store owners had to pay deductibles and pay high prices for repairs, which were probably delayed costing them more lost revenue ( tax dollars as well). Not including the costs that the city had to incur.
You mean *rioting savages. Fixed it for you.
I hope it wasn’t any of those rioters who set cop cars on fire.
Pay for looting and disturbing! 🥴
🙄
More taxpayer money being shelled out because of dirty cops.
That’s Democrat run cities for ya
Dont pay those BLMers nothing...they were resisting arrest!
