NYPD Abuse Increases Settlements Costing City $735 Million - Bloomberg

Now I know where all my money goes when I hear they need to raise this or raise that, or cut services here or there. What precisely is the annual budget for NYC if nearly a billion of it is going towards police abuse that never seems to correct itself? I expect the settlement number to rise dramatically for 2013 as it does every year.

The headline is wrong, period. Read the article. This is the second one I've seen that has blamed the entire NYC tort payout number on the NYPD alone, when in fact the police department doesn't even account for the majority.

Looks like the city hospitals cost about as much in litigation as the NYPD.
