I almost feel like THIS is and was part of RUMPS and putins plan? I'm 100% thinking the Police unions probably are in this up to their necks! I believe our police across the country has been infiltrated by BAD COPS! I wish there was an easy answer to this BUT this election is getting more fearful as days go by!

(964 posts)Any citizen who gets hurt by them should have restitution come from their own- and I don't mean taxpayer funds but police officers should have police insurance. Doctors have it and so why not them? The current status is that the American taxpayer is paying for their violence. It's a sham and a scam, that we are paying for their "law and order". They would think twice about their actions of they knew they had to pay for it and any unjust "arrest" will up their insurance payments. This is the only way they will police themselves. Bad cops will have such high claims that insurance companies will drop them and they'll be out of a job.

Only the independent/private practice doctors do, and they are shrinking in number in part because of the cost of malpractice insurance. I see your point about how taxpayers shouldn't have to cover the cost of police malfeasance, but forcing all police officers to pay out of pocket for malpractice insurance would probably drive away a lot of police officers, not just the bad ones, not to mention violating many state labor laws.
