...sounds like neighborhood organizing to me. With the 5.5 available there will be a shitload of folks claiming to have been tortured when they haven't.

did you read the article or just the headline...

Chicago made history today as the first municipality in the United States to pass legislation providing reparations for victims of police torture.

The landmark policy will allot financial compensation to the mostly African-American men tortured from 1972 to 1991 under Area 2 Commander John Burge and his infamous “midnight crew.” 
The legislation gives victims access to psychological counseling, education and job training, and mandates that public schools teach about the torture; a permanent memorial will also be erected in the city.
