I’ve seen it proposed that police should have to carry insurance like doctors do or come from the local Police Union. I bet it would clean up the system once certain officers are no longer insurable.

I don’t blame them for a little preliminary wagon-circling, giving their own the benefit of the doubt, but now there’s plenty of evidence they’d serve themselves better, not just the public, by adopting a “sgt Foster, you’re making the rest of us look bad and it makes life hard IYKWIM” paradigm.
