The Minneapolis City Council Friday approved a record $27 million civil settlement with the family of George Floyd. Until now, the largest misconduct payout in state history was the $20 million settlement in 2019 for the family of Justine Ruszczyk, shot and killed by former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor after she called 911. Also, Gov. Walz announced a major rollback of COVID-19 restrictions. This is the afternoon MPR News update for March 12, 2021. Hosted by Nina Moini. Theme music by Gary Meister.
