Nicole Mehringer lost her job after she was caught drunk in an unmarked police car with a male subordinate.

She won a lawsuit against the city alleging that her conduct — while against department policy — was no different from male command staff who routinely flouted rules.

The verdict was the latest in a series of legal losses for the city in lawsuits brought by female police command staff members.

I mean this is just liberalism turbo charged by identity politics. It's kind of nonsensical to give one person, and a fucking ruling class enforcer, this much money while people are homeless and without healthcare. Honestly it's so ridiculous but I guess it can happen because the jury is also full of liberals that have just really performative politics? The US is so fucking weird
