Readers Write: George Floyd settlement, violence at 38th and Chicago, Derek Chauvin s trial Not now, City Council. Text size Copy shortlink:
The Minneapolis City Council has approved the George Floyd settlement during jury selection for Derek Chauvin s trial ( Record $27M for Floyd family, front page, March 13). Why? Why now? The council has put its finger on the scales of justice. Now, no matter what the jury does whether it acquits or finds Chauvin guilty more of the public will not accept its verdict. How does that promote police accountability? The council was wrong. It should have waited.
