police went to the wrong house

I read so often that police are professionals.

Well, in any other field this would be pure malpractice with the added component of clear negligence. Perhaps it is time to impose malpractice insurance on every individual officer. They pay the premiums out of their own pockets. The city or town is not sued, the officer is.

Yes, I know, I'm dreaming.

The police pension fund needs to payout the resulting lawsuits from such actions not town or taxpayers, and those funds would not be replaced. Only then would peer pressure start to create more responsible policing. There is no accountability even for gross negligence.
