Officers are rarely criminally charged for using force on duty. More often, cities are sued civilly, resulting in significant cost to taxpayers. For example, over a period of about two years from 2015 to 2017, the City of Milwaukee, which is self-insured, spent more than $21 million on police misconduct settlements, a Journal Sentinel investigation found. Not all the payouts involved fatal incidents.
Nationwide, similar protests are showing solidarity with the unrest in Minneapolis as activists decry the death of Floyd and other African-Americans who died because of police actions. While the vast majority of protests have remained nonviolent, splinters of protesters in the Twin Cities set buildings ablaze and looted stores.
