Chicago Mayoral Candidate Wants Cops To Pay For Their Own Misconduct Suits
Ja’Mal Green says taxpayers shouldn't be paying for Chicago Police misconduct lawsuits.
Mayoral candidate Ja’Mal Green says taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for Chicago Police misconduct lawsuits, Jamie Nesbitt Golden reports for Block Club Chicago. Green also says police should be covered by their own insurance. “Insurance carriers should determine the liability for [police officers] to have insurance plans and drop them if they’re too much of a risk-based on complaints in their record,” Green said after a September report from the Sun-Times found police misconduct settlements totaling $250 million for taxpayers between 2018-2020.
