What lesson has the city and county learned from spending gobs of taxpayer money defending former Police Cmdr. Jon Burge and his so-called midnight crew in police torture cases?

Instead, city and county officials should look for a way to bring these cases to resolutions that save taxpayers money and better serve the cause of justice.
