1. Force the question of whether they should retain official immunity or whether they should be held personally accountable. ( not much money in that course of action, perhaps).
2. Sue either both the officers personally if 1 above is upheld, or if not, then sue the city/county etc for as much as the jury will stand....
As long as the taxpayer is held accountable, this will not stop. Officers at every level of govt need to know that they are not immune in all cases, the tide needs to turn. Hold individuals responsible for their actions. I am certain bum rushing a burning man and stomping him whether he is a suspect or not is not within any LE policy.
“but yer ‘oner, he was armed, with fire!”
Go straight to #2. We taxpayers should not be on the hook for this - but the LEOS should face, complete personal liability for fines and jail time. Government immunity is a cancer.
Take any payouts from the police pension fund.
