re: Deputies Try To Kill Pitbull, Kill a Teen

If anyone should be held strictly liable for their actions due to the power they yield, it's police. Instead, we have taken the opposite approach and basically absolve cops of almost all wrongdoing when it involves the use of force. If a civilian shot a dog and a ricochet bullet hit and killed a kid said civilian would almost certainly be charged with manslaughter.

Maybe. What I would like to see is pay the cops a whole lot more money since they put their lives on the line every single day. Then as you attract a higher quality individual hold them more accountable.

Before I retired, I made a whole lot more money than most cops, and I did not have to put my life in jeopardy.
