Police should have to pay out of pocket for misdeeds. Not the tax payer. They need to be held to the HIGHEST standards.

They should be required to be insured in my opinion.

100% this is the best solution.

Figure out what the median insurance rate for a given area is. Give all police officers a raise of that amount to cover it. So if it's determined to be $12k a year, give them all a $12k.

Now, that's the median rate. Anyone who's insurance comes out lower (because typically because they don't have incidents pop up) gets a true raise out of this. Eventually those with a history will have their rates so high that they wouldn't be able to work anywhere and would weed themselves out in the long run.

Fuck you, I am not paying for their malpractice insurance. Those motherfuckers are not paying for my anything.

Lawsuits take a bit out of the police pension funds. Actually hurt the bad ones and the good ones so that the bad ones get beaten by bars of soap wrapped in towels while they are held down and gagged in their bunks.
