January 1, City Pays George Floyd Protesters $9.25M Taxpayer Dollars
The city of Philadelphia has agreed to pay $9.25 million to hundreds of activists who sustained “physical and emotional” injuries during the chaotic protests over George Floyd’s death in the summer of 2020.
The city agreed to pay the substantial sum in order to settle a class action lawsuit brought by 343 West Philadelphia residents whose protest shut down Interstate 676 on May 31 and June 1, 2020. The plaintiffs claimed that police used tear gas, pepper spray, and rubber bullets to clear the protesters and allow traffic to resume.
Additionally, residents who participated in the 2020 protests will be provided with mental health counseling.
“The pain and trauma caused by a legacy of systemic racism and police brutality against Black and Brown Philadelphians is immeasurable,” said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney.
“We hope this settlement will provide some healing from the harm experienced by people in their neighborhoods in West Philadelphia and during demonstrations on I-676 in 2020,” he added.
Philadelphia isn’t the only city to reach a substantial settlement with George Floyd protesters.
Just a few weeks ago, New York City reached a “$4 million to $6 million” settlement in a lawsuit brought by activists who protested in the Bronx around the same time as the protests in Philadelphia.

These “idiot” politicians are BLM sympathizers, not BLM the sentiment, BLM the marxist organization. Why would they pay it out of their pockets?.

Yes! I wouldn’t like to see how much money Harris and Biden got with the help of BLM donations. The Floyd case has bought and paid for with tax money. Case was already bought by falsely claiming Floyd’s death of knee. Officers charged after coroners report that he died from overdose of use of drugs. Prayers for everyone.

Stupid does not explain just how stupid the city commission is. This is the city that elected a dead candidate and the citizens of the state elected an almost dead senator? I wonder what the founders of Pa. would think of this?
You do not have to be a brain surgeon to see just how dumb and ignorant these voters are.

PHILADELPHIA THE ONCE CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE , WAS MADE CERTAIN THAT IT BE THAT IT REMAIN CONQUEST OF THE VIOLENT ON-SETTERS. RESULTS THAT HAVE BEEN WELL SEEN FROM ONE WHO DARES CALL HIMSELF LATIN & GAELIC , IN THE COMPANIONSHIP OF AN INTERESTINGLY BEAUTY & INTELLECTUAL QUEEN (AKA) CHIEF OF POLICE WITH THE OMNIPOTENT EXCUSE OF A DISTRICT ATTORNEY. I can hear the reverberations of bless his soul William Penn and many of the former mayors who earned respect for their love of the once city of brotherly love. What was the beauty of PENNSYLVANIA named after the title of: PENN’S WOODS named after the beautiful wooded areas of Pennsylvania has truly been brought to its knees by catering to those who seek to destroy and not give. “WHEN EXCESSIVE FREEDOM DESTROYS ORDER – IT WILL BE THE PASSION FOR ORDER TO DESTROY FREEDOM” With the oncoming election for mayor in Philadelphia , it would seem that the race is on with some very interesting (SAVIORS) ????

Politicians buying protesters for riots is much worse than a businessman paying off a hot prostitute .. also makes one wonder how many protesters were paid on Jan 6 for faking a riot

Now I’ve seen everything. Riot for profit!!!
If those dumb f**k rioters had stayed at home they wouldn’t have
been pepper sprayed and shot with rubber bullets. but, they choose
to break the law and riot. The police should have used real bullets,
that’s what stops an insurrection.
Take the nine and a quarter million out of the city fathers pockets, not
the hard working honest taxpayers.

This is one of the most Stupid things this country can do. What about the poor individuals trying to save their property, and got killed by these terrorist. Our forefathers would have treated these protesters like, like they would have,, against England. Against Hitler, against Stalin, against all the people against our freedom to protect ourselves against these stupid people. But hey the stupid ones are the ones paying these terrorist.

I’m amazed Philly will hand out millions to those who destroyed anything in their path. They stole from their neighbor, beat and murdered innocent people, for the fun of of it. I watched the riots and I saw evil everywhere burning down family homes, businesses, medical facilities and even Gods House. City of brotherly love…………………

How much more stupid can this country get. How can the law protect and control stupid evil people of this country. We are falling in line with every lawless country in the present and past. Hitler, Stalin, Chinese rulers, North Korea. And many more. The stupid President that others voted in gave the Taliban 85 Billion dollars worth of war equipment that can get back in this country threw our open boarders and other avenues. But yet he wants to take away our only weapons that would have the power to fight for our country. These protestors killed innocent people protecting their prosperity. But now they are honoring these bad protestors for helping bringing done our country. If we don’t get these stupid judges and politicians out of office we are going to fall hard and soon.
