Police lawsuit settlements have cost taxpayers over 2.2 billion dollars according to The National Police Funding Database
Post Body

I thought this was an interesting database that tracks publicly reported monetary compensation paid to victims of police misconduct and any policy changes that may have resulted from these settlements.

The database was compiled by the Thurgood Marshall Institute (TMI). And of the 167 publicly available settlements identified, the total for taxpayers was $2,246,987,900.00. That is only the publicly known settlements. So it's probably higher than 2.2 billion. It does not include jury awards as far as I can tell, and lists only settlements that resulted in policy changes.

This funding database also tracks federal grants given to law enforcement and any federal programs that "transfer" or provide military equipment to law enforcement. You can find that info here.
