Guess how much WE paid in LAPD legal settlements in FY2020? 🚔

$30,412,523! 💰

- Largest payout was $6.7M related to sexual harassment by an LAPD Sergeant. What happened to the Sgt? He was transferred to another group (Internal Affairs) which investigates police misconduct. 🤦🏾‍♂️
- 2nd largest payout was $6M related to an LAPD officer who locked up someone for 17 YEARS & withheld crucial evidence which proved that person was the wrong person all along. 🤦🏾‍♂️

- 3rd largest payout was $3.75M related to LAPD repeatedly tasing a Marine veteran to death. 🤦🏾‍♂️
HERE'S THE THING: this financial info is not EASILY known or made accessible. This is precisely WHY we're running for LA City Controller.

The more people know, the better they'll be when talking to their elected officials about change!

We can ALL agree that the more transparent and accessible the City’s finances are, the easier it is to determine where our city’s priorities lie and where they should be.
