Just one month into the year, the city already has run through well over half of the $82 million that Mayor Brandon Johnson set aside for 2025 to cover police misconduct settlements and judgments. And more than 220 lawsuits are still pending for just three ex-cops.
I will forever stand on mandatng cops get malpractice insurance, making the city pay the “good cop” premium, and making the individual cop pay anything beyond that.
I would like the cop to pay the whole thing and the compensation for being a good cop should be worth it. Would be huge as the bystander cop would be bystanding his rates going up if he does not do something.
