Reading of the newest settlement from the city of Chicago for insane cover-ups of police misconduct makes me mad. If the members of the Police Department want to keep their “code of silence,” that’s OK with me — as long as they are willing to pay for it. Simply take the money spent defending the Police Department against legitimate claims and take it out of the salaries of police officers — top to bottom. You want to play “stonewall,” then be prepared to pay for it.
