Last week, the city of Sanger approving a victim settlement of $5.25 million. Partial closure to his client who suffered at the hands of former police officer JD Torrance for years. Ever wonder why cities settle instead of taking cases like this to trial. It's not compassion, it's risk. Trials force police departments to open their files, complaints, emails, supervision records, internal warnings. That's called discovery. And when abuse lasts six years, discovery is dangerous. So, cities pay millions, close the case, and move on while taxpayers pick up the tab. That's not justice. That's damage control. Thin blue lies, baby.
