The fiancee and friends of an unarmed man killed in a 50-bullet police shooting on his wedding day said they wanted justice. The legal system gave them money — more than $7 million.
The city did what it has done time and time again: pay.
Nearly $1 billion has been paid over the past decade to resolve claims against the New York Police Department, the nation's largest. The total spending outstrips that of other U.S. cities, with payouts covering everything from brutality cases to patrol-car wrecks, including settlements and trial awards. Taxpayers foot the bill. Some police officers have been sued again and again, including one officer who has faced at least seven excessive force and brutality claims. Some law firms have made it their primary business to sue the city.
