This just makes no sense - the US government WAS responsible.


Right. So why do taxpayers pay for that? Should citizens pay for cops mistakes?

Well, as I'm sure you are aware - the people ARE the government in the US. But even in countries where this isn't at least nominally true on paper, the logic of the sovereign still exists. It's the perpetual entity. If we applied the logic attempted in threads like these to everything, nothing would ever be done.

If the cops are government employees, yes.
