Read about literally any lawsuit against police violating civil rights. Who pays the judgment?

  Oh hello person that cannot read, and wants to shift the goalposts whilst they are at it. We, the taxpayers, are the ultimate employers, we, the taxpayers, are liable for the things that we the taxpayers ask to be done on our behalf (policing) We, the voters asked for laws that protect civil rights We, the taxpayers asked police to enforce those laws We, the voters demanded that people whose civil rights are violated be compensated fairly We, the taxpayers/voters chose people that didn't do the job properly (including training) It's not magic, the governments (at all levels) are there because we put them there, and we told them what we wanted to do (and we voted for the ones that do/do not do what we asked of them, including setting up the systems that do the things) Your complaint is that the systems YOU vote for are ... doing their job
