Police Misconduct Costs Chicago $33 Million more

What the heck--it's not coming out of the cops' bank accounts--

Chicago City Council OKs nearly $33M in settlements for cop misconduct - Chicago Tribune: "The Chicago City Council today signed off on nearly $33 million in legal settlements for two notorious cases of police misconduct, shining an expensive light on how the city deals with wrongdoing in the Chicago Police Department. In what may be the largest single settlement of its kind in city history, the aldermen approved a $22.5 million payment to settle the lawsuit brought by the family of Christina Eilman. . . ."
