Minneapolis pays $9 million to settle Chauvin excessive force suits

John Pope and Zoya Code sued the city last year, alleging Derek Chauvin kneeled on their necks in separate incidents in 2017. Chauvin killed George Floyd in 2020 using a similar restraint. Chief Brian O’Hara said Chauvin’s badge number has been “destroyed.” This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.
