Two black men who were arrested April 12 at a Starbucks coffee shop in Philadelphia while they were waiting to meet an acquaintance have reached a settlement with the city and will not pursue civil complaints against the police department.
The two men—Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson—will accept $1 each as a token settlement, along with an apology from the city, which also has agreed to set aside $200,000 to fund a program aimed at assisting young entrepreneurs, according to news reports.
