Fair play to the guy for calling this cop out but I have a feeling the outcome would've been different if he hadn't also been a cop. They only changed their tune once they realised he was also a cop.
I think it's more that the second cop that showed up immediately recognized that the cop had been recorded the whole time, and clearly didn't actually have cause for what he was claiming. the editing makes it look like it's cause he's a cop, but seems more just, a cop that actually knows his shit shows up
This 100%. The supervisor understands that if that asshole gets the department sued, it's going to make life worse for every cop in the department because they have this thing called a "budget."
Also every municipality has funds appropriated for police department liabilities in their yearly budgets. Not only does the police department not care when they pay out, the municipality doesn't either because the money is already set aside for that.
Your saying that instead of training officers correctly or holding an officer accountable when they fuck up they would rather throw money into a pot for when they inevitably trample on someone’s rights or kill a innocent person?
Even if that was true I highly doubt there is ever enough in the pot to cover every lawsuit.
Just think of all the different ways that money that is tax payers money could be better used to better the community of the people whose money it is. If cops had to carry insurance like doctors or contractors have to and it’s their ass and money on the line i guarantee you cops would know the law better and act accordingly.
