This is totally corrupt but my hope is that it will draw attention to how a very similar scam has been running in Democrat controlled areas using Civil Rights claims. You can see an example of this in Durham, NC with fire fighter exam settlement and in NYC with the teacher's exam settlement.
In a standard legal dispute, the plaintiff wants to win money or change a policy, and the defendant fights tooth and nail to protect their treasury and defend their rules.
But when a progressive interest group sues a progressive city administration, the dynamic changes. They are not adversaries. Both sides share the exact same ideological goals. The city leadership wants to change the hiring demographics, alter the testing criteria, or redistribute funds to that specific constituency, but they lack the unilateral political or legislative power to just hand over the money directly.
The lawsuit is filed not to fight the city, but to give the city a legal excuse to do what it already wanted to do. Take millions from taxpayers and give it to preferred groups without oversight of a trial or going through the judicial process.
After getting these payout the people kick up some portion to groups who launder it back to the politicians who agreed to the settlement.
It's the same thing but no one cares.

This administration's level of corruption is weighing on me, because it should be weighing on his supporters...but it's not.

Steal tax dollars to fund anti-weaponization fund. No irony detected.
