The ruling was good, but I think the funds should come right out of that PD’s operating budget —the PD needs to suffer, not the innocent taxpayers.
This is happening more and more and I think cops should take out a bond for these types of events —when finally they can’t get coverage, well, the PD would know what to do with that guy’s contract...
Same for judges who pen-whip applications for no-knock warrants
I’d rather my tax dollars go for this than any of O’Malice’s other corrupt “programs”.
The only way to stop this is to hold the shooter(s) COMPLETELY responsible if the jury finds they violated PD policy.
PD policy should be that pets on their own private property are treated as “children” with regard to limits on the use of deadly force.
Agreed
It won't stop until the money comes out of the liquidation of the cop's pension and retirement benefits.
