A Minneapolis suburb agreed to settle a lawsuit and pay $3.25 million to the family of Daunte Wright, a Black motorist killed during a traffic stop by a white police officer who mistakenly fired her handgun instead of her Taser, lawyers for his family said.

The attorneys said in a statement on Tuesday that the settlement of the wrongful death lawsuit that Wright's family filed against Brooklyn Center will not be finalized until an agreement has been reached regarding more training for the city's police officers.

"The comprehensive settlement in this tragic case will provide a meaningful measure of accountability to the family for their deep loss," they said. "The family hopes his legacy is a positive one and prevents any other family from enduring this type of grief."

City officials were not immediately available for comment.

This is all fine and well but it won't bring him back. I hope they use this money to get away from this area and establish something in his name. Maybe bring more awareness to young black men and women about the dangers of unchecked cops on the streets. Teach them ways to protect themselves as best they can. We need to make moves to get these badge-carrying thugs off our streets. We should be voting these people in, not letting anyone who wants to be a cop, be a cop.

    Getting that little amount is a slap in the face. I guess she didn't get a larger payout is because she dealt with a black man to begin with.

    They think money can fix problems. No, money can't fix problems like this.

    We need to see cops have better training. We need to have cops vetted for racism. We need cops that actually protect us, not the state. Cops need to be elected/voted in. Being a cop gives the average citizen POWER over other people. How is it that anyone can just roll in and be a cop? Sheriffs out in white towns are elected yet cops in cities are just given a badge.
