A federal court Wednesday approved Minneapolis, Minnesota’s agreement to pay 12 protesters a combined $600,000 for injuries sustained during 2020 demonstrations over George Floyd’s murder.
The agreement settled a lawsuit brought by American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) on the protesters’ behalf, and bars Minneapolis from arresting or using physical force including chemical agents against people demonstrating legally, according to a Wednesday ACLU-MN press release. The Minnesota U.S. District Court’s injunction concluding the lawsuit Wednesday mandates body-camera recordings for Minneapolis officers deployed to protests and limits their use of chemical agents for peaceful protest dispersion.

FTA - "“Tear gas, foam bullets and pepper spray became weapons for intimidating and hurting protesters, making it dangerous for people to exercise their First Amendment rights,” ACLU-MN Legal Director Teresa Nelson said. “We hope this settlement sends a message to law enforcement across Minnesota that this violation of our constitutional rights will not be tolerated.” "
This is pure garbage.

But were they protesting legally? What about the damage protesters did? If you are protesting, then you should be prepared for the consequences and you shouldn't be paid for being stupid.

I didn't realize that rioting, arson, looting, and planned, coordinated violence were 1st Amendment Rights.
At least, not for White folks.

They should be CHARGED because they were rioting. They wouldn't have been injured if they hadn't been violent criminals.
Payoffs to antifa thugs, a BENEFIT to them for their thuggery, arson, and violence.

Let me get this straight. Riot...Break the law...Get arrested...make about $50,000 for your trouble.
I get it...it is a profit deal and a well paying gig if you can get it.
We're doomed.

And yet hundreds of J6 "protestors either rot in the DC gulag or have had their lives ruined by their/our government because they did not protest by damaging and burning private property. They just went into the so-called People's House.

Maybe I should quit my job, move to Minneapolis and become a professional rioter, destroyer of lives and property. It seems to pay more.

So someone got burned while fire bombing a building during the riots and the City of Minneapolis owes them money? What about the riters owing the city money for the damage that they did?
