Well…with all of the coverage of police brutality across the US, there was a story yesterday that just made my jaw drop…had a hard time believing it. Since 2004, Chicago has paid out $560 million dollars to settle lawsuits for brutality by its police force…yep that’s $560 MILLION dollars in just the past 10 years….just think of how many school lunches could be bought for that money, how many schools could be rebuilt, and how may roads could be fixed. In the era of cuts, cuts, and more cuts to services, no one thinks there is something wrong with this? Something needs to be done and done now to end this nonsense….anyone who is the object of one of these suits that is settled should be fired and anyone who helped cover it up should go, too….the police in the country are out of control and the daily revelation of another, and another person being killed or maimed by them is just wrong…fire them all….geez…
