According to the medical examiner, Floyd had a fatal level of fentanyl in his system at the time. His death sparked violent riots across the nation that amounted to billions in destruction.
In the meantime, in addition to the $27 million, Minneapolis is spending $36 million to secure the city during Chauvin’s trial.
