This is clearly bad; however, if you want a small bit of light, Chicago is probably the most transparent city in the US on this. Every city has police lawsuits. The difference is that they usually hide the cost of them from taxpayers.
NEW: Chicago must borrow $283.3M to cover the soaring cost of lawsuits alleging CPD officers committed a wide range of misconduct as part of the city’s 2026 budget, Mayor Brandon Johnson said, calling the move "prudent." @wttw.bsky.social

I borrowed Project Hail Mary after hearing about how disgruntled its fans were about the movie adaptation's trailer (apparently there's an awesome twist that is spoiled).

You know, a fascist president tearing up and destroying parts of the white house associated with the President that got us through WWII would be too on the nose for fiction.
But I also don't think Trump is that aware either.
