The article doesn't say but it does mention that "Chicago taxpayers have long been asked to pay out multimillion-dollar police misconduct lawsuits, fueling a bedrock of mistrust between the city’s residents and its police department..." at a time when Chicago faces a budget shortfall of over $1 billion for 2026.

@PatKirby But as the Mayor says they don't have a crime problem. Lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@Musicman Yep, corruption requires collaboration and the political interest that protects the status quo.

Could be. I was thinking maybe he was trying to impress the boss or his own mother.

@PatKirby Same thing, really.

@YoMomma

Probably hid the illegal proceeds and will cash in later on.
