City settles CPD whistleblower case for $2 million; Rahm avoids witness stand
The city will settle a federal lawsuit filed by two police whistle-blowers for $2 million. Officers Shannon Spalding and Daniel Echeverria sued the city because their Chicago Police Department supervisors allegedly retaliated against them after they helped the FBI build a case against Sergeant Ronald Watts and Officer Kallatt Mohammed, who were allegedly shaking down drug dealers. Mayor Rahm Emanuel would have had to testify on the witness stand if the lawsuit went to trial. [WBEZ]
