The city of Minneapolis has settled the first lawsuit by a demonstrator injured by a police projectile in the aftermath of George Floyd s death.
The City Council has approved a payment of $57,900 to Graciela Cisneros and her attorneys. Mayor Jacob Frey officially signed off on the payout last Tuesday.
Cisneros, 22, suffered an eye injury when a police officer fired a projectile at her on May 29 as she and her partner were walking home after a demonstration. Right now it is looking like she recovered, said Nico Ratkowski, her St. Paul attorney. The settlement made sense based on what my client and what the city were willing to do, he said.
