Benjamin (Ben) Crump is a race baiting whore who gets his money exploiting the injuries and/or deaths of people of color who reacted what they sowed due to the criminal exploits, claiming, more often than not, falsely, that a white person, namely police, unjustly killed a black person, more often than not a piece of shit criminal.
On March 12, roughly 10 months after George Floyd died during an altercation with Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin, Crump took the stage to announce the record-breaking settlement he negotiated on behalf of the Floyd family. “That the largest pre-trial settlement in a wrongful death case ever would be for the life of a black man sends a powerful message that Black lives do matter and police brutality against people of color must end,” he proclaimed to the crowd.The size of the judgment was indeed notable, but the timing of the announcement was even more so. It was announced during the Chauvin trial—likely influencing the final result. Touted as a step in the right direction by media outlets and politicians alike—the final haul was $27 million.This has become a standard for Crump cases—denounce and collect. The family of Trayvon Martinreceived a settlement of over $1 million in a 2012 wrongful death lawsuit. Michael Brown’s family received $1.5 million. Breonna Taylor’s family? They received $12 million.
“George Floyd’s Family Settles Suit Against Minneapolis for $27 Million.” Of course it did: not in the family’s wildest dreams could it have expected to acquire that much unearned wealth from the death of a man who was substantially responsible for his own fate”
“Ben Crump is the new Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton of the racial grievance game. He’s a slimy attorney, race hustler and dirtbag all around. He also tweeted (then deleted) the following about Sarah Comrie aka the media labeled “Citi Bike racist Karen”.”
“How did we get here?
The first high-profile Crump case occurred back in 2002, when he represented the surviving family of Genie McMeans, Jr., who was killed by a new black female police officer. The deceased initiated contact with the officer, yelled at her, and disobeyed her orders. When he eventually made a move to retrieve something from his car, he was fatally fired upon. Crump took the case, but after a short deliberation the officer was subsequently cleared of any charges by a grand jury.
Bottom line, Ben Crump is no different than the POS Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and any other worthless race hustler making money off the pain of black people.
