> the city will only pay out if its cops and other employees were acting in good faith, not maliciously. Since the officer that framed Howard was found to be acting in bad faith, the city won't pay.
Ah yes, perfectly sound logic. /s
- Someone 5y agoThere is sanity in that logic. If a government employee gets a speeding ticket while working, the city doesn’t typically pay it either. But of course, they should make an exception here.
- sshine 5y agoThere really isn’t sanity in that logic. They paid him to be a cop for 36 years. He was on a payroll when he fabricated evidence. If I’m a truck driver and I break something with my truck on a shift, my company’s insurance policy will cover that. Apparently, this is not true if I’m a cop and I break someone’s life.
- bryanlarsen 5y agoIf you are acting maliciously when you break something while at work, yes the insurance company will pay. But then the insurance company will come after you to recover the losses.
