Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson is one of nearly 80 arrested protesters who are eligible for cash payments ranging from $500 to $1,000 if the settlement gets the court's final approval.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Erin Wilder-Doomes said the agreement "appears fair in all respects." U.S. District Judge John W. deGravelles is scheduled to hold a Sept. 21 hearing before deciding whether to give it his final approval.

Besides the cash payments, the deal also calls for expunging their criminal records free of charge. Plaintiffs' attorney Roy Rodney Jr. said that is the most important component of the deal because it ensures a criminal record won't follow the arrested protesters, many of whom are young adults.
"In this case, they weren't doing anything wrong," he said Tuesday.
Break the law, get paid. This is our world today. Sad. Just sad. Meanwhile, the person that is out of a job and trying to do the right thing will receive nothing.

If it makes you feel any better at all this is known as a "cost of defense" settlement

I thought they were arrested for blocking a public highway? Isn't that against the law?

Does that come in EBT credit? I need to buy some lobster for my illegitimate son's birthday party.

It is, but since charges aren't being brought against these criminals, they're now getting paid for wrongful arrests.

How much does Attorney Roy Rodney Jr. get ?
Posted on 5/30/17 at 7:42 pm to Will Cover
I'm sure they will spend that wisely on "jewry" and rims.

I remember the video of the dude in the OP and I don't think they were blocking the highway/major street. I think I recall him being shadowed by a cop just behind him telling him not to cross the line on the side of the road, though, and without warning (or him crossing the line) he was detained. Others were detained on that grassy hill as well. Seemed to me at the time most all of that crowd was just a pain in the arse but not disruptive. BRPD had a plan or so it seemed... make examples out of several folks.
