Another Payout

Another "deep pocket" lawsuit that's going to be used to beat the CPD over the head with for the next thirty years:

• Yet another high-speed Chicago police chase gone bad will prove costly — this one with a proposed $27 million settlement.

  The money would go to the family of Angela Parks, a single working mother of five who was rendered a quadriplegic, then died 18 months later — at age 45 — after being struck by the passenger door of a Jeep that Chicago Police Department officers were pursuing because they believed it had been stolen.

  Parks was a counselor for the Chicago Housing Authority. At the time of the Aug. 21, 2020, accident, she was on her second job, moonlighting as census-taker.

There's a lot of questionable accusations made by the liar lawyer that will never be answered regarding chase policy, officer actions, etc. 

But:

• if the criminals didn't commit crimes, there'd be no pursuit;
• if the criminals didn't flee, there'd be no injuries;
• if the criminals didn't drive up toward the curb, open the door to leap out of a moving vehicle - in effect creating a 4,000 pound unguided missile - there'd be no lawsuit;
• if there were no lawyers, the world would be a much happier place, too. 

In any even, we repeat, stop chasing....forever.
