Chicago mulls 4.9 million payout to Coleman family
Chicago may pay 4.9 million to the family of Philip Coleman in a settlement over his death after police subdued him with a Taser and dragged him from a jail cell. Alderman Roderick Sawyer says Emanuel’s office backs the deal as council briefings begin ahead of a Finance Committee vote. The case follows earlier police videos and a separate McDonald case, fueling calls for accountability and discipline.
