If the money used to pay those lawsuits comes from the police pension fund this activity would sharply decrease.

What a very good idea, but, because there are some good officers who paid into the fund who had nothing to do with the illegal raid it is excessively harsh. The people of the town however elected a mayor who represents them who hired cops and administers what they do. That improper supervision by elected officials is the real root of the problem. I’m sure this is not the first time these particular cops have been heavy handed. It certainly isn’t the first time for the department, they have already been warned by the court twice for heavy handed tactics.
If the city is made to pay they will correct their mistakes or go into bankruptcy. I hope it hurts really bad, that will get the bad cops fired and make others more careful in the execution of their duties to PROTECT & SERVE, not beat in to submission.
