The losers in this are the people of Louisville who have to foot the bill.

ETA: not saying she doesn’t deserve a settlement but it’s kind of a fricked up system that individuals can frick up or run a shitty police department but the payout for those transgressions comes from the citizens.

Also how is a settlement not an admission of wrongdoing? Clearly they think they’ve done something wrong or can be proved to have done something wrong to settle. If they’re settling with the families why aren’t they charging the officers as well?

Eta2: ah didn’t see that they’re involving a grand jury.

Simple solution: elect people who will run a better police department.

Money saved.

I'm pretty sure the woman who was murdered in her house by the police is the loser in this situation. The winners are the police officers involved who get to keep their lives and freedom.

They voted Greg Fischer into office. Now they're winning stupid prizes.

It is basically litigation 101 that settlements do not equate to admission of fault.
