I floated the idea to someone that we should make police unions responsible for any legal payouts when a cop is found at fault and there is a civil payout. The police won’t hold themselves accountable and they don’t even have to pay the fines. The tax payers do. Making the police unions pay would give them incentive to actually cut ties with bad cops.

I was told that was a terrible idea and the fastest way to bankrupt the police. I didn’t see the problem.
