Should the city of Chicago have to pay $44 million for a shooting involving an off-duty police officer? Federal judges set to rule

Though officials now share the jury’s opinion that Kelly shot LaPorta with his service weapon, the city contends it is not liable for LaPorta’s injuries because Kelly was off duty when it happened. The appellate judges seemed to agree, suggesting it would be unfair to hold police departments responsible for anything and everything their employees do.

Politically-connected law firm (PCLF) sues City.
City politicians push a massive pile of taxpayer-extracted cash to PCLF.
Judges (friends of both City pols & partners in PCLF) rubber stamp.
Everyone (except taxpayers) counts his swag.

Rinse and repeat. Al Capone was a piker compared to today’s Chicago Crooks.
