I also wonder if he could lose these assets anyway. If he’s sued by Floyd’s family, his first course of action would be to file a third-party claim against the city to indemnify him against any claim for damages. If he was following police procedures at all times, he’d have a very strong case for this.
On the other hand ... if he has no assets at risk then he may not even bother contesting a civil lawsuit.
There’s something in my dim memory concerning my late mother’s last couple of years of life in which she could’ve gotten some additional financial benefits. But there would’ve been a govt clawback if she was above a certain amount in assets..which she was. We chose not to go that route because it sounded like it had pitfalls. The main thing I remember...it was the Fed govt that would be doing it.
I hope the officer has good legal advice, but it would be the wife getting stung if there was a clawback. He’ll have nothing when this is over anyway.
