Seems like red hearing - why are we ignoring the criminal prosecution system whenever such crimes happen? Relying on civil cases to resolve crimes against the people is step backwards from justice.
Police officers abusing authority, recklessly endangering the lives of others, and committing acts violence against citizens creates a chilling effect even more harmful than the suffering the citizens first endured. Money does not need to come into play here. Arrest, charge, and put them in jail for their crimes against society.

- Gibbon1 6y agoYeah I would say over-reliance on financial 'incentives' is a cancerous problem with US governance. We let cops that commit crimes go in return for an muni's insurance company payout. We let CEO's go in return for a bit of innocent stockholders money. Up and up throwing people in jail would be vastly more effective.
