With incidents of serious injuries and deaths at the hands of

police, cities face the costs of settlements and jury verdicts.

Some of these cases mean millions of dollars paid. How do

cities pay for this? What does it mean to city budgets? And

guest is Brentin Mock, veteran journalist; he’ll discuss his

article “How Cities Offload the Cost of Police Brutality,”

which appeared in June in Bloomberg’s CityLab.com.
