Minneapolis Pays Man $150,000 in Emotional Damages For Witnessing George Floyd’s Death



The Minneapolis City Council on Thursday approved a $150,000 settlement with Donald Williams, who claims his exposure to George Floyd’s death gave him post-traumatic stress disorder (PTDS).

The Star Tribune reports:

Williams, 35, filed a lawsuit against the city last spring, alleging that he was assaulted by police on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue while trying to intervene in Floyd’s arrest.

He was outside Cup Foods corner store the evening of May 25, 2020, when he saw then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 ½ minutes as Floyd begged for his life. Bystander video captured by teenager Darnella Frazier depicts Williams as among the most vocal observers, urging Chauvin to get off Floyd — who was by then unresponsive — and check his pulse.

Chauvin looked directly at Williams, grabbed a canister of chemical spray from his duty belt and began shaking it toward him and other bystanders expressing concern for Floyd’s welfare, according to the lawsuit. He was so vocal that Officer Tou Thao stepped toward him and placed a hand on Williams’ chest.

As a result of the since-convicted officers’ actions, Williams said he feared for his safety and endured pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses.

Hmmm... this gives me an idea....

I did watch that VERY TRAUMATIZING video after all.

He was so vocal that Officer Tou Thao stepped toward him and placed a hand on Williams’ chest.

For following his police academy training by keeping the crowd separated from the police, Officer Thao received a 4 year, 9 month prison sentence.

Personally, I'm surprised that he received only $150K for the unbelievable amount of "pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses." Had he a better ghetto lawyer, he would have made off with at least a couple of million.

Couldn't have netted more than 80K after locust fees and (possible, sometime yes sometimes no) taxes. Still, a nice supplement to welfare or disability or whatever other grift he is on.

Floyd was the pawn. No one actually gives a shit about what happened. No one. It's a dead black man on drugs. He was leverage. It worked on morons.

Surely it was the right thing to do for President “Joe Biden” to remind the nation of the tragic loss of George Floyd four years ago this Memorial Day weekend. At the time, the man known as “the Black Thomas Edison” was rumored to be this close to achieving an economically viable system for producing electricity via atomic fusion using the fentanyl molecule (C22H28N2O) combined with the nuclei of alcohol (C2H6O), releasing enough energy from one gram to power a city the size of Minneapolis for a day. The math he left behind on his chalkboard spells it out:

17.6 MeV×1.60218×10^13 J/MeV2.82×10^12 J

You see how that works? Alas, Dr. Floyd had apparently ingested a small amount of these experimental substances accidently before leaving his lab May 25, 2020, when he encountered the white supremacist police officer Derek Chauvin outside a Cup Foods convenience store in Minneapolis’s “Powderhorn” neighborhood. For reasons never understood, despite manifold judicial inquiries, the officer dragged the Great Man out of his car — where he was polishing some of the requisite algebra in his notebook — and for no reason at all placed one knee, and all his weight, on Dr. Floyd’s neck, constricting his airway and causing his death. The nation erupted in violence, and you know the rest of the story: no cheap energy for you, you nation of white supremacist asswipes!

I couldn't believe all the idiots who would take a knee for this hood rat drug-addled criminal.

But, such is the state of modern America.
