CLEVELAND, Ohio - The city of Cleveland has paid out more than $8 million in judgments or settlements involving at least 60 lawsuits alleging excessive use of police force, wrongful arrest and other misconduct since 2004.

Below you can find links to details about each of these cases, as reported by a team of reporters from The Northeast Ohio Media Group and The Plain Dealer Publishing Co.

Their findings were detailed in a series that appeared on cleveland.com over the last two weeks: Cleveland Police: Forcing Change.

The cases involve citizens accusing officers of needlessly shooting at them, beating them during traffic stops, shocking them with Tasers while they were in handcuffs or arresting them when they had committed no crime.

The payments range from $1,250 to $3 million. The city settled some cases without acknowledging wrongdoing by police. The city has paid at least $1 million each of the last three years.

About three-fourths of the cases involved minorities, and about three-quarters involved men.

Below the map is a listing of each case, with links to stories providing more details about each.
