A very large lawsuit should help deter this kind of harassment.
Yep!
Such an arrest would cause me to lose clearances necessary to do my job.
I would sue for lost salary, pension, benefits, and my good name.
Payable from the personal wealth and retirement of the cop, if there is justice, not just Just Us.
Has not anywhere else.
Taxpayers get to pay those. It’s not like it comes out of the PD funding or the officer’s pension fund or the union’s coffers.

Won’t make a bit of difference. Any settlement will be paid
by the taxpayers. The incompetent badgemonkeys will hide
behind union protection and laugh their ass off. The union will
even fight against making them demonstrate competence.
For every $100 collected by victims of LEO crime and abuse
less than 1/10th of 1% comes out of the pockets of the thugs
perpetrating the abuses. It’s ALWAYS the taxpayer who suffers
the costs for institutionalized criminality by badgemonkeys.
