Yes, and I would like that restriction removed.
The big one you don't mention is that claims against public sector workers have statutory limits.
What a bunch of crap.
The latest outlay is 100% the fault of the city for keeping a violent out-of-control cop on the payroll.
Why?
That IS a good idea.
“Why?”
Because public employes at all levels (and that included cops) need to be held accountable personally for their actions. To do otherwise invites bad behavior...
What’s wrong with the solution proposed in Post #12?
Also, public employees in most sane states can already be held personally liable in cases of actual abuse of power.
“Also, public employees in most sane states can already be held personally liable in cases of actual abuse of power.”
The key word here is “can”. They almost never are... In the vast majority of the cases, the also corrupt city and state officials let them off and just let the taxpayers pay.
The gubmint employees have a union representing them.
Taxpayers have...well...
