    There are tons of examples counter to your claim.

    A lot of the settlements probably don’t even get reported on at the request of the city in question.

      Yeah, 10 million might be a stretch. But the city I used to work in would immediately settle for 250k for something like that. Lawyers are expensive, and losing is more expensive

      While true, your hypothesis doesn’t take into consideration how often the police fuck up.
