The East Baton Rouge Metro Council is set to consider a $5 million settlement in the civil lawsuit against local leaders filed on behalf of Alton Sterling's five children, who lost their father in the 2016 police shooting that ignited nationwide protests.
The measure, introduced by Councilwoman Chauna Banks at a virtual meeting of the council on Wednesday, is slated to appear for a vote before the council on Aug. 26 — when officials hope the public would be able to offer their comments in-person, if the state allows further reopening in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
If approved, Banks' measure would authorize the Parish Attorney's Office to offer the settlement to Sterling's family with dollars appropriated from the city-parish's Insurance Reserve Funds.

Settlement for what? He got what he deserved and the cops didn’t do anything wrong
frick giving these people a handout. You make a horrible decision, you pay the price. It’s unfortunate that his family has to deal with it, but that should have played a role in his decision making
ETA - I don’t normally do this, but since this thread is still going, I’d love to hear you cocksuckers explain why you downvoted me

So by getting killed by cops he has provided for his kids more than he ever did when he was alive?

Wow.

That’s a perfect way to look at it.
I’m sure there’s a shite ton of people who would eat a bullet if it meant their family got 5 mil

How in the world did she decide that it should 5 million?

For fricking what?!?!? The piece of shite criminal got what he absolutely, undoubtedly, unquestionably deserved

Councilman Dwight Hudson noted his opposition to the item in an interview prior to the meeting, arguing it is irresponsible for offers of settlement to originate from outside of the Parish Attorney's Office. He said the measure undermines that office's ability to represent the best interests of the parish.
quote:
Councilman Trae Welch said he believes the lawsuit should proceed to trial to allow for a full accounting of the case to be “aired out” in public. He also said there are legal questions to be answered on whether the $5 million proposal exceeds the cap on payouts the city-parish might be obligated to pay.
Nice knowing you guys

All for a guy that barely knew those kids, had photos with them holding guns with gang signs, resisted arrest while disobeying extremely clear instructions, oh and the fact that everyone ignores that he had a loaded gun in his pocket that he seemed to be reaching for....
But I guess 5M is cheaper than having to rebuild the city after a group of 75 IQs destroy it. Congratulations, Baton Rouge.

In fairness to Mr. Sterlings memory that wasn’t him, just a pic that floats around the internet

This is the same woman that wanted to give a guy tens of thousands of dollars because his city-parish provided trashcan fell into a ditch in front of his house and caused water to get into his house. Shae said because the parish provided the trashcan they were at fault
