I assumed that this was Chino PD, which was probably pretty stupid of me since I used to live in Riverside and should know better. My best wishes are now correctly extended to San Bernadino County and their insurance premiums thanks to Micah's astute observation. The City will probably be dismissed since it wasn't their employee or action. At least they should be, but this may be one of those cases where the judge starts looking for deep pockets that actually have cash in them. This is actually better for the claimant since the County would almost certainly be carrying higher limits than a small city like Chino. I'd guess at $40M, but that's just an educated guess and just more of a mental exercise for myself than anything else.
