Basically. The city is saying these millions are worth not even fighting the cases. It’s a lose lose. Settle and people complain about the payout. Fight the case and win, people complain because the cost of trial is actually more than the settlement. There’s no way to get that money back and the city is too spineless to dismiss bullshit cases.

>What the fuck were they doing instead of working???

In my experience, what they were doing was trying to convince people not to report their sexual assaults because it's too much paperwork. I guess we can call "intimidating victims not to report crimes" to be a kind of work. It occupies their time, anyway

Exactly. Actual pizza places are barely getting by with $3-$4 slices, and you think these K-Mart clearance $1 pizzas have found some amazing secret to their prices?

They were selling you greasy pizza-flavored cardboard and convinced you that you were getting a good deal. No self-respecting New Yorker would pay $1 for that garbage.

Consider supporting NY Senate Bill 182. It would repeal qualified immunity throughout the entirety of NYS.

Call/email your senator and tell them to vote for SB 182. Hochul has said she'd veto it, but the bill's sponsor (Sen. Robert Jackson) has said Dems are prepared to use their supermajority to override her. So every vote is going to count on this.
