During a 2020 protest over the murder of George Floyd, the Los Angeles police had fired projectiles at the crowd and one of the shots caused a man to lose part of his testicle.
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles City Council approved paying the $300,000 lawsuit settlement, according to the Los Angeles Times.
David Bond filed a federal lawsuit last year, claiming that the LAPD used "excessive and unreasonable force" when he was peacefully protesting and was then shot.
He originally asked for $2 million in damages and claimed that he has "permanent disfigurement" after being shot by the projectile.
His case went to mediation and the $300,000 settlement was agreed upon in January, according to an internal city document, that was reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
Dale Galipo, Bond's attorney, said on Wednesday that the settlement "could have been worth more money," but Bond is happy to be done with it.
"It was the right thing to do under the circumstances," Galipo said. "Arguably the case could have been worth more money than that, but the client wanted to get it resolved at this point, and I was supportive of that."
What? The judge should have ordered the other one shot off for bringing a stupid case before him.
I should have gone to law school.
On a related note, I got this new Sig in 9. I’m surgical with that thing out to about 10m. It’s amazing. I could hit a walnut.
Floyd wasn’t murdered. Chauvin was lynched.
Castrating women effectively do the same thing to millions of men.
Uno pelota.
was he the guy who was tossing the tear gas grenades back at the police and was hit in the gonads?
With that kind of money, he can have a ball.

Numb nuts.
“he was peacefully protesting”
Audacy writer provides nonsource for this. LAT’s writer wrote “He said he had been protesting peacefully”.
Double or nothing...
wonder if that was the intended target...
One nut Ned hits the jackpot
“LA agrees to pay $300K to man whose testicle was shot off”
It wasn’t shot off. Undetermined what hit him but “he eventually drove home before his fiancé took him to a hospital and he underwent surgery, where part of his left testicle was removed.”

Two comments:
1: Good!
2: Being as it was "The Projectile" that did the shooting, give Bond the projectile and he can put it in a vise and squeeze it until it pays the $300K.
You’re probably thinking of the guy in Portland who got hit in the upper inner thigh by a pepperball. It missed his gonads, but not by much. Happened in 2020, I think.
Floyd OD’d on fentanyl. Convince me otherwise.
If Chauvin had gotten off of Floyd’s neck when he became unresponsive, the Left would have had to find another cop-black criminal interaction to be their excuse for their planned riots.
