JUST IN: George Floyd’s family files a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against Minneapolis and the officers who were involved in his death.

, the Minneapolis man whose death in police custody sparked massive protests against systemic racism, filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against the city and the officers who were involved in his death.

Benjamin Crump, a lawyer representing Floyd's children and siblings, said their 40-page civil action filed in the District of Minnesota will continue an"important conversation" on the"pandemic of police brutality." The civil complaint listed a series of violent arrests made over the years by the Minneapolis Police Department.

"It was the knee of the entire Minneapolis Police Department on the neck of George Floyd that killed him," Crump told reporters."The city of Minneapolis has a history of practice and procedure and deliberate indifference when it comes to the treatment of arrestees, especially Black men, that cries out for training and discipline."

Just give them $5. That's all they need

Cadillac dealer...here we come.

Wait! Hold on! Didn't they say that this is not what George floyd would have wanted? Didn't they get millions from go found me? What just flipped?

This should happen every time they murder a citizen. Make the state pay millions of dollars for every wrongful death and sue the police officers personally. When they're all in the poorhouse, they'll understand actions have consequences

12News Here comes the money grab. As usual TheRevAl has literally got his grubby little hands out.

Of course the race baiting hack al sharpton has to be there. But he was nowhere near, not even within a 100 mile radius of all the black children shot and killed in Chicago over the past few weeks.

Good. George Floyd was murdered by a cop. Period, end of story. Nothing else matters other than a cop took it upon himself to suffocate georgefloyd for an unbearable 8 mins and 46 seconds.

George Floyd and the long battle to defund Chicago's school police'We need counseling, therapists and psychologists,' one student said. 'I see this with my own two eyes.' Why is the focus so much on reducing the police rather than re-orienting the police? They are a necessary public service, and while I understand that there is a reasonable limit to their presence, limiting their resources is not going to help anything. REAL NEWS So I guess they want to make Chicago look even more like a third world African country.
