About $2 million will go to Jack McKenna, who was seen on video being struck by officers' batons after he approached mounted officers.

The settlements were reached before a jury found Officer James Harrison guilty of second-degree assault for his role in the recorded beating. The same jury found Officer Reginald Baker not guilty, reports CBS Baltimore.
