(CNN)The city of Louisville, Kentucky, has settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old EMT killed by police six months ago.

A source told CNN on Tuesday the agreement was a multimillion dollar settlement. Taylor family attorney Sam Aguilar also confirmed to CNN there is a settlement in the case.
"The city's response in this case has been delayed and it's been frustrating, but the fact that they've been willing to sit down and talk significant reform was a step in the right direction and hopefully a turning point," he said.
Taylor's family sued the city after Louisville Metro Police officers broke down the door to Taylor's apartment and fatally shot her while executing a late-night, "no-knock" warrant in a narcotics investigation on March 13.

2. I pray the family got stupid amounts of cash cause it's all these PDs listen to

3. The PDs don't care because they don't get affected.

The officers involved lose OT when they go on "administrative leave", but the public safety and police pension funds aren't touched.
The city pays out of the general fund, meaning streets aren't fixed and community service programs are cut. The PDs don't care about Libraries, urban renewal and after school programs, especially if those programs help "those people".

4. The thing is they don't care because insurance pays.

Several municipalities pool together and buy insurance policies so even big settlements don’t phase the towns.

5. The insurance companies need to be sued then, looks like they know some of these PDs aren't

8. They'd rather pay millions of dollars than arrest and try a few killer cops.
