An other case of where the Police must be restrained. Any penalty imposed on individual police officers will be paid by the tax payers.

Until that logic is broken the Police, collectively and individually, will not change their attitude. As i have recommended before I think each police officer, including desk pounders, need to have a personal bond to pay for their over reactions. The bonding process would cover something like this plus dog shootings but not cases brought by felons.

That's a tough one. While I'd like to think that would fix this problem it may introduce worse issues. Like can't find anyone to become a cop due to fear of being sued.

Or it will drive their pay way up to attract people willing to take that risk.

Our military isn't subject to many of the same international laws as other militaries for this very reason.

Personally I'd like to have it where if a cop commits a criminal offense he gets at least twice the maximum sentence. My reasoning is it's often harder to convict a cop so they need a bigger deterrent to committing crimes.
