Please stop focusing on the settlements folks. They are necessary for people harmed by police. They are for past police violence - in Chicago’s case often for torture committed by Burge & his henchmen decades ago.

No, not taking the money out of police budgets, which will further incentivize cops to reduce the amount of settlements. No, not subjecting survivors & families to profit driven private insurance companies who will deny their claims. Stop the harm at the source. #DefundPolice
Settlements to people harmed by police is not the reason communities don’t have what they need to create genuine & lasting safety. Cops & capitalism are. Focus on ending the harm, not shifting responsibility for compensating people harmed. http://bit.ly/dontfixate  #DefundPolice
