The City Council has approved $1.5 million in settlements for six people who sued Denver over the police department’s use of force during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
The payouts, approved Tuesday in a block vote, are for plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by the Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer law firm in 2022. The council approved a $1.06 million settlement in the same case, involving different plaintiffs, last month.
In the larger of the new settlements, the five plaintiffs who will receive a combined $1.2 million payout are Derek Buranen, Gareth Doskey, Jack Girard, Robert Greer and Kevin Kreeger. The second settlement amounts to $300,000 and goes to Jazmine Bjelland.
