Minneapolis has now paid more than $35 million because of Derek Chauvin's excessive force

Minneapolis has now paid more than $35 million because of Derek Chauvin’s excessive force

Newly released videos show former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on the necks of two handcuffed suspects years before he did the same to George Floyd.

The edited videos were made public Thursday after the Minneapolis City Council voted to settle two civil rights lawsuits for nearly $9 million.

John Pope will be paid $7.5 million. The city settled with Zoya Code for nearly $1.4 million.

They accused Chauvin of excessive force during separate incidents in 2017.

Unfortunately he isn't the disease, just a costly symptom.

haven't been patched yet. Maybe they should let Chauvin out of prison and put him to work on a street repair crew.
