The city of Seattle, Washington, agreed Wednesday to pay $10 million to settle a lawsuit from a group of Black Lives Matter protesters who participated in the violent and destructive 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd.

A Wednesday press release from the city revealed that Seattle is settling a complaint filed by a group of 50 protesters in September 2020 who claimed they were injured by police while participating in the demonstrations. Seattle admitted to no wrongdoing.

According to the city, the complaint involved hundreds of interactions between the protesters and local law enforcement officials, over a million pages of records, over 10,000 videos, hundreds of witness interviews, and extensive court filings.

The state takes money from law-abiding citizens and distributes it to violent mobs that act as regime foot soldiers. Most citizens don't know, and many that do keep quiet in fear of reprisal. This is how it all ends.

The real insurrection.

Well, it was not like an insurrection.(/S)

Will receive 10 million from the responsible working taxpayer citizens of red states. These will be federal dollars.

[Tell It Right]

While the Jan 6 protestors are in political prison, the Bash Lighter Melanins rioters in Seattle are getting paid for their troubles.

Join a protest, sniff some teargas, and win the lottery. Sounds like a plan.

Burn down a city and then get paid by the city for burning it down, heck of a gig.

[gathersnomoss]

This country is close to FUBAR.

[CodeToad]

So, riot, get hurt, get money from the taxpayers.

Do they get more if they burned a building down than if they just looted?

[NWFree]

I seem to recall being there for some reason. Send my check

The worst part of this nonsense is that the city of Seattle is self insured. Every penny of this will be extracted from the pockets of taxpayers.

[1Old Pro]

Why only 10 million, why not 10 billion

[Vaduz]

The city of Seattle Washington = Owned

Unlimited stupidity in action

[Dalberg-Acton]

Where do I claim some of that loot?

[Vaduz]

Check

[oldasrocks]

I was there too under a different name. I was so badly scared that I turned white and got a job. Talk about unusual punishment. Send me a check.
