Do any of the police involved have to pay with any of their own money?

Uh, TAXPAYERS will be paying.
This was the story where LEOs mistook a blue Toyota pu for a grey Nissan Titan pu in broad daylight.
The two women in the blue pickup got $4 million last year. The had their warning lights on as they crawled down a street delivering newspapers.
I think that all governments should require police officers, at any level of government, to carry “malpractice” insurance just like doctors, nurses, lawyers, etc. A few too many malpractice payouts and the police officer would not be insurable and thusly not employable.
And yet the ‘good’ cops remain silent to what is going on. They want us to support them, but they won’t support us against the thugs, morons, cowards, and criminals among them. They will always choose Team Blue over right and wrong.
It is sad that the tax payers have to pick up the tab for idiot cops, but maybe they should pay more attention to the hiring of idiot cops and who hires them.
Unless it’s the actual officers (and possibly their union) the monies are coming from the taxpayers.
And the officer involved received a free pass from the D.A. saying they considered the totality of the situation and his actions were justified.
what happened to the two women, mother and daughter delivering newspapers, that had their SUV shot full of holes by panicky cops? The mother was seriously wounded and the daughter unscathed. What kind of settlement did they get? They should have owned the city for that trigger happy episode. The women’s vehicle was the WRONG color! Were the cops color blind as well as trigger happy?
The Police won’t pay a thing.
Sadly, they deserve it. The police were going nuts and there wasn’t enough evidence that they were in immediate danger from these people. We have to pay out. And this blurb doesn’t even say that the one woman was indeed shot.
