SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 7 – When the City of New York's proposed settlement of George Floyd protest lawsuits was challenged by the NYPD Police Benevolent Association at a hearing on January 29, Inner City Press was there and live tweeted, thread here:
[ending] PBA lawyer Smith: The Mayor knows something about policing Judge: Mayor Adams hasn't taken his name off the settlement... PBA rep: He said he had to take his lawyers' advice Judge: Maybe they want to avoid the M word PBA rep: Is a monitor even being considered?
Judge: I will try to have something else by next week.
On February 7, Judge McMahon denied the PBA's motion, and granted the Settling Parties' motion to dismiss it.
