Los Angeles is poised to pay nearly $1.6 million to settle three lawsuits involving alleged wrongdoing by the Los Angeles Police Department, including a $1.15-million payout over the shooting of a man from an LAPD helicopter.
The City Council voted 12-1 on Wednesday to approve the payouts, with Councilman Joe Buscaino casting the sole dissenting vote.
The LAPD and the Los Angeles city attorney’s office declined to comment on the settlements, which allow the city to resolve the claims without admitting liability.
The cases represent part of a larger phenomenon: Over roughly the past 5½ years, Los Angeles paid out more than $245 million to resolve legal claims involving the Police Department more than a third of the total amount of liability payouts for the city during that period, according to a Times analysis of city records.
