Bullsh!t. The "city" doesn't pay a penny win or lose. It's the TAXPAYERS who are on the hook for this black racial spoils fest. The jacksses who hired him should be personally liable for their corrupt cronyism. But, just when police are actually found guilty of anything (a rare event) the guilty are not on the hook pesonally for their despicable actions.
Government work - you can't beat it. You get to squander other peoples' hard earned money, and never face any serious consequences no matter what you do.
you are right, this is the taxpayer money that has been lost!
