True? False?

You want to see work stop? We're talking completely stop. This would do it:

• Copper on 2nd watch in my district met with Corp counsel Friday (the 13th.) Seems copper and partner had a lawsuit filed against them. Corp. counsel says: "We can settle this out of court for $600,000 AND are going to make you and your partner pay $11,000 in punitive damages."
  If you want to go to court, and they award punitive damages, it will probably be a lot more; there is your choice officers; take it or leave it. So, now the city is deciding how much punitive damages you will pay, even without a trial
  Supposedly FlOP is looking into group umbrella policies if this happens.....The city's got your back..

We don't happen to have $11,000 lying around. And we don't trust Cook County juries to apply punitive damages with anything near even handedness. And the other sad fact is, we don't trust Corp counsel to do anything but settle 9 times out of 10. So if they're negotiating punitive damages, the only logical end is to do nothing to endanger our income streams.
