Each plaintiff could receive $90 to $3,000 dollars, depending on the circumstances of their case.
While some people are predictably questioning the integrity of those who stand to gain financially from this settlement; I say, why not question the officers who set the stage for these taxpayer-funded windfalls?
Every time a Chicago police officer decides to operate outside the scope of his or her employment, by beating a suspect, refusing to follow protocol, or infringing upon a citizen's civil rights - we the taxpayers - pick up the tab.
So, to all the cops who think their badges give them the right to abuse people, I raise my glass and say, thanks! Thank you for making Chicago just a little bit poorer.

If you read the lawsuit. It's about not having a mattress to sleep on. I can tell you that there are not mattresses any where in a police station. How do you expect the cops to provide something they are not issued?
