Impact analysis
That's $11 million that could have gone to parks or libraries, but instead is going to settle a lawsuit over a tragic death.
The family of the deceased man gets some financial closure, and hopefully, this prompts the city to change its police training.
Taxpayers are footing the bill for this, and the community is left dealing with the fallout of a tragic incident involving law enforcement.
