San Antonio paying $119,000 to man shot by 'less lethal' police rounds at George Floyd protest
The City of San Antonio will pay $118,800 to settle an excessive force lawsuit filed by a man shot twice with crowd-control rounds by a San Antonio police officer during a 2020 protest against the murder of George Floyd. Alexander Lance sued the city in 2021, alleging a San Antonio SWAT officer shot him in the arm and leg with "less-lethal" rounds after he shouted to the officer that his rifle should have its safety on. Lance claimed he was a bystander and not even participating in the demonstration, which took place during a summer of unrest over Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police.
