RayAmerica says
For following his police academy training by keeping the crowd separated from the police, Officer Thao received a 4 year, 9 month prison sentence.
He was so vocal that Officer Tou Thao stepped toward him and placed a hand on Williams’ chest.

Personally, I'm surprised that he received only $150K for the unbelievable amount of "pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses." Had he a better ghetto lawyer, he would have made off with at least a couple of million.

Couldn't have netted more than 80K after locust fees and (possible, sometime yes sometimes no) taxes. Still, a nice supplement to welfare or disability or whatever other grift he is on.
The Minneapolis City Council on Thursday approved a $150,000 settlement with Donald Williams, who claims his exposure to George Floyd’s death gave him post-traumatic stress disorder (PTDS).
The Star Tribune reports:
Williams, 35, filed a lawsuit against the city last spring, alleging that he was assaulted by police on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue while trying to intervene in Floyd’s arrest.
He was outside Cup Foods corner store the evening of May 25, 2020, when he saw then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly 9 ½ minutes as Floyd begged for his life. Bystander video captured by teenager Darnella Frazier depicts Williams as among the most vocal observers, urging Chauvin to get off Floyd — who was by then unresponsive — and check his pulse.
Chauvin looked directly at Williams, grabbed a canister of chemical spray from his duty belt and began shaking it toward him and other bystanders expressing concern for Floyd’s welfare, according to the lawsuit. He was so vocal that Officer Tou Thao stepped toward him and placed a hand on Williams’ chest.
As a result of the since-convicted officers’ actions, Williams said he feared for his safety and endured pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment and medical expenses.
