George Floyd

A question, especially for my attorney and social justice friends (not mutually exclusive, of course): how was the $27 million amount arrived at as the legally appropriate financial settlement between the city of Minneapolis and Mr Floyd’s family? And would there have been any conditions attached to the settlement?

i understand that there are significant confidentiality and privacy concerns about financial settlements, but none of the reporting I’ve seen has added any context to the settlement amount, and (beyond my normal curiosity) I think I’m probably not the only person curious about this.
