ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge on Tuesday approved a settlement in the wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the parents of Michael Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old, whose fatal shooting by a white police officer nearly three years ago in Ferguson, Missouri, set off months of protests.

Financial terms of the settlement approved by U.S. District Judge E. Richard Webber were not disclosed. Anthony Gray, the attorney for Brown's parents, declined comment, as did Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III.

You forgot that the lawyer will get 33 percent so they will start off with a tad over 2 million. It will be gone very fast.

I’m guessing that they figured it would be cheaper to pay these blood suckers off than take a chance in a civil trial. That and to avoid more riots.

It has been tried before.

Didn't work in Detroit in the 60s.
Won't work now, either.

It should be the family owes the city for the ammunition expended.

Or the other victims in the vehicle that the government tried to murder in cold blood as well?

Now that would be justice

The outcome for the Brown family is taking political correctness to an extreme.

If it was over $3-million of insurance covereage, it means that money is coming from the coffers of the City of St. Louis, which does NOT have the money for such things. “Wrongful death”? No, they should not be awarded ANY money for that because his death was a result of choices he made and the actions of the cop that resulted in his death were NOT WRONGFUL! They were prudent and saved HIS LIFE!

If it was more than 10¢ it was to much.

Stand back and watch the family/relatives fight over the money.

That's always the last act in these American-African Crime-Greed Tragedies...

So why's that surprise?

Why on earth should any govt pay millions to the family of a violent CRIMINAL THUG who gets himself shot in the course of attacking an officer of the law?????

Because it's going to an abused now-dead slave from Africa, ripped from his tropical paradise, home of his beloved ancestors and abused for 200 years, and probably already hanged 8 times during his lifetime.

Plus it's free money, aka from taxpayers with jobs and paychecks, and Federal "matching" funds.

All courtesy of the Money Fairy...

whatever the amount is...if it must be paid...first deduction the price of all that destruction to the city and thievery...

That's right.
The business neighborhood is still gone.

The Settlement is about $40 million short... more or less...
