Because the victims don't have the resources to arrange legal help, is one possible reason. If you know of an area in the USA where the police have the capability to admit a fault, or punish bad apples in the force, please let me know because I'd like to move there. While stories of cops being fired or prosecuted are few, I have never seen a press release saying 'we fouled up and the settlement we offered has been accepted.'
