Looks like they took a cost-benefit analysis to me. It's easier to pay a small sum than to change the culture that allowed it.

Each one of those checks is more than the officer's lifetime salary with the department. And still no accountability.

And here in Baltimore, our public schools are facing a $140 million budget shortfall.

I must be slow; but it's cheaper & more ethical to hold responsible for their actions.

But no amount of money can ever replace her son.

we have any for their crimes!! No friggin accountability! Wrong on so many levels!

keep the freakin money! I just want my sons to come home alive

they could stop the killing if parents of the victims was wise enough to leave the U.S and spend that money in other countries

and Conservatives wonder why a looooooot of people don't trust cops. Even so-called "good cops" refuse to call out the bad ones.

The moment they do, they will have to write MUCH bigger checks.

Black officers are held accountable, its the non black ones that can kill at will.

settlement checks should come from the police union & department the police officer belonged to.

Yes, @ShaunKing isn't that something? Who is in charge of local gov police departments? Mayor and its commission.
