Or, just treat police officers like every other profession... Have the state issue a professional license, and have the officers carry professional liability insurance that they pay out of,not tax payers. Then end qualified immunity.


Professional Liability Insurance? How much will that cost the individual officer to maintain on their salary? Do cops in the cities have to pay more? Should they be open to frivolous lawsuits and litigation? Let make already over litigious society even more so. Like a lot of things, that sounds good in theory but isn’t practical in reality.

I am still not hearing a real reason why we make police basically immune to lawsuits that literally every other profession is subject to.

Why are we counting on the taxpayers to pick up the tab for when police departments hire bad apples?

Why should the taxpayers foot the bill for their crimes and screwups?
