Both lawsuits stemmed from 2017 - three years before Derek Chauvin killed George Floyd with a knee to the neck.
The city of Minneapolis agreed Thursday to pay nearly $9 million to settle lawsuits filed by two people who said former police officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into their necks years before he used the same move to kill George Floyd.
Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, serving time for the 2020 murder of George Floyd, appears via Zoom from a federal prison in Tucson, Ariz., on Friday, March 17, 2023. Chauvin pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting, failing to file tax returns to the state of Minnesota for the years 2016 and 2017.
Councilmember Elliott Payne said he hoped the settlements"bring some closure to this era and is a stark reminder of the work we have lying ahead." He agreed with Bennett's assessment that it was"an institution problem." A law enforcement officer escorts Chauvin from the rear of the Family Justice Center after a motion hearing in Minneapolis on September 11, 2020. The lawsuits said body camera recordings showed Chauvin used many of the same tactics on Pope and Code that he used on Floyd. Chauvin was sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison on a state murder charge in 2021 for killing Floyd by pressing his knee to Floyd's neck for 9 1/2 minutes as he pleaded that he couldn't breathe.
