What’s fucked up is the lack of accountability. So many lawsuits paid for by the public while the offending officers get paid time off or resign to be immediately hired by the next town over
True, though I imagine that might also have to do with the town’s legal departments. Normally you would have the officer at least take partial accountability. That he cannot pay millions should be clear.
But frankly that is an issue tied directly to thr education and training of these officers. If the towns don’t train their officers properly, they expect costly mistakes to happen and I feel like the town is at least partly to blame and shout pay some costs.
