SAN JOSE — The City of San Jose is poised to pay more than $3 million to a group of demonstrators and observers injured by police during the infamous George Floyd protests downtown three years ago, including a man who lost his eye after being hit by a police projectile, court and public records show.
Under the tentative settlement — which was formally filed in court this week and is scheduled to be reviewed by the City Council on Sept. 12 — lead plaintiff Michael Acosta, who lost his left eye, would receive $2.9 million, while 10 other plaintiffs and two organizations, the San Jose-Silicon Valley NAACP and the San Jose Peace and Justice Center, would share $450,000.
