Oh Chicago police officers, men of the law
You're now under investigation's door
What exploitation of power
To bring women's lives lower
And you must face the justice for sure

They highlighted previous high-profile cases of fatal police shootings, including Jamar Clark, Justine Ruszczyk, Thurman Blevins, Chiasher Vue, and Amir Locke. They also noted the repeated use of the style of neck restraint that Chauvin used to kill Floyd. 'Until 2020, MPD did not consider neck restraints to be deadly force, instead classifying them as ‘less-lethal’ force,' the report states."

Minneapolis settles $89 million in lawsuits saying Derek Chauvin kneeled on them - So bad cops, and there are a lot of them evidently, cost cities and thus taxpayers money. Lots and lots of money. The Washington Post recently reported that more than $1.5 billion has been spent to settle claims of police misconduct from thousands of officers. npr.org/2023/04/14/1169941579/
