The City of Minneapolis has agreed to pay $600,000 to a woman who claims that former policeman Derek Chauvin once knelt on her back.
Patty Day, a former employee of the Public Works Department, agreed to settle with the city council after claiming the Chauvin pinned her to the ground with his knee.
Her story was intended to line up with Chauvin’s infamous maneuver that may have led to the death of George Floyd, although this remains disputed by autopsy reports.
In her complaint, Day acknowledges that Chauvin fellow Officer Ellen Jensen caught her drunk driving, at which point they “violently yanked Patty from her vehicle and, without justification, threw her to the ground in the middle of a street.”
She claims that Chauvin broke her tooth, injured her arm and shoulder, and suffered other serious injuries before she was handcuffed and arrested.
“Chauvin then assumed his signature pose, pressing his knee into the subdued and handcuffed Patty’s back — just as he would later do to snuff the life out of George Floyd — and remaining that way well after Patty was controlled,” the complaint stated.
Day wanted a staggering $9 million for her troubles, although likely concluded $600,000 was as good as she was ever going to get.
‘Chauvin is the most infamous police officer in Minnesota (if not United States) history,” the complaint continues.
“This exacerbates Patty’s emotional suffering and increases the frequency of her flashbacks, as Chauvin’s name is repeatedly in the news.”
Americans will never forget the summer of 2020, when footage of Chauvin using his knee to restrain the career criminal George Floyd led to the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and the breakout of hundreds of violent protests.
Chauvin, 45, was sentenced to a brutally harsh 22 and a half years in prison for second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter over his alleged role in Floyd’s death.
Yet according to the medical examiner, Floyd had a “fatal level” of fentanyl in his system at the time of his passing.
Back in November 2023, Chauvin was the subject of a stabbing assassination attempt by an inmate and FBI informant at his medium-security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Tucson, Arizona.
He has since been moved to another facility in Oklahoma City where he has recovered from his injuries.
