Chicago taxpayers paid $91.3 million to resolve lawsuits that named 116 Chicago police officers whose alleged misconduct led more than once to payouts between 2019 and 2021, according to an analysis of city data by WTTW News.

In all, the city spent $197.7 million to resolve lawsuits alleging more than 1,000 Chicago police officers committed a wide range of misconduct — including false arrest and excessive force — in 2019, 2020 and 2021, according WTTW News’ analysis.

Cases that involved at least one officer with repeated claims of misconduct accounted for 47% of the cost borne by taxpayers to resolve police misconduct cases between 2019 and 2021, according to the analysis.

A bit of additional context - "As of 2022 CPD had 11,710 sworn officers on duty".

Is it just me or is it kinda weird that midwest.social's description says, "A lemmy server for, but not limited to, leftists in the Midwest USA". I'm not republican but it seems this server doesn't accept all views and I'm not sure this is the best place for an /r/Chicago replacement. Thoughts?
