(Minneapolis, MN) -- The city of Minneapolis is agreeing to pay a group of journalists nearly one million dollars to settle a class action lawsuit.
The journalists claimed they were hurt and harassed by police while covering protests following George Floyd's murder.
One journalist claimed he was hit in the face by a projectile fired by police, then tear-gassed.
The city has paid more than eleven-million dollars in settlements related to police conduct since the spring of 2020.
