The city has agreed to shell out $21,500 to each of the more than 300 protesters who were confined and some beaten or pepper-sprayed by NYPD officers in The Bronx during the nationwide 2020 George Floyd demonstrations.

The proposed settlement — which will have to be signed off on by a federal judge — was published in a Manhattan federal class-action suit filed by the protesters who were “kettled” by cops at the protest in Mott Haven on June 4, 2020.

On Wednesday, a Bronx cop said he was “mystified” by news of the proposed settlement agreement.

“Kettling? That’s what we do. It’s not like they do it because these guys are model citizens. They’re doing it because they’re committing crimes or not following orders,” the officer said. “One or two of them might have been swept in there just because of wrong place, wrong time. But people were looting stores and causing mayhem at some of these protests.”

Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and now a professor at John Jay College, said the courts have made it “almost impossible to deal with large-scale civil unrest” by allowing such lawsuits to proceed.

“I think you’re going to see the cops take a step back instead of getting involved with this stuff, unless it’s their physical wellbeing or the person next to them is in danger. If not, you’re only going to be part of a lawsuit or whatever they’re going to do,” he said.

So burn down innocent businesses and police vehicles and get paid. But if you walked calmly through the People's House in DC on an unscheduled tour after being escorted in by police...well, that's over the line and you will be locked up as a political prisoner for years. Sounds very legit...

This has got to be some kind of sick f'n joke....

Let the reparations begin...

where does this money even come from. isnt your country in trillions of debt?

The Ukraine slush fund...

New York is such a s hit hole.

No wonder people are fleeing that ****hole.........

I'll be gone in about 1.5 years. It's a shame what this city has become.

That's Saint Floyd, patron saint of ******** and robbing pregnant women

Oh look more grifting of tax dollars. Did they also see a noose on a Bronx garage door? How much do the shyster lawyers get?
STOP
VOTING
FOR
LEFTISTS.

So what stops them from listening them and their grandmas from rioting?

I could see maybe dropping charges ...but rewarding these people

just lmao

5 out of 5 honks

And not one person said, "This might incentivize more riots," ? The only thing that makes sense here is that the city is justifying anything to reward people of black pigmentation.

If it leads to them getting forced pay a $billion to all of the workers they forced out of their jobs in the name of "public safety" during covid, I'll accept it.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of Saint Floyd being ********-free! What a milestone!

They understand that terrorism (EVIL) wins.They understand that terrorism (EVIL) wins.

Whether it's political or religious. If you can cause enough destruction, they will beg you to stop.

Liberals should be lined up and summarily executed. Not sorry.

That's exactly how they feel about you. I assume you are too stupid to understand the difference.

Can care less.

haha you said "can care less" even though that doesn't make sense. lol good one

I can give a **** what you think. Go kill yourself.

You should never tell anyone to commit suicide.

Why not? It's the misc.

Uh oh, internet bad ass over here. 😂

I wouldn't go that far.

jew york of peace

Because it's wrong. There is no redemption from suicide. It is the ultimate irredeemable act, aside from blasphemy.

Some people don't believe in religion. But fair point.

Even ignoring religion, how does telling someone to commit suicide benefit society?

Some people just don't deserve to breathe air. Fairly simple
