The problem is that the wrong people are being forced to
fork over the $$$ to settle lawsuits that are caused by
zealous brain dead badgemonkeys. When “the city” pays
what that actually means is that “the taxpayer” pays. The
mayor, the city council, the chief of police and his badgemonkeys all get their regular check every two weeks, their bad behavior costs them nothing. That’s because whenever city employee does something bad the city is forced to eat the costs of that misconduct. Unless and
until willful misconduct, willful abuse and violations of
civil rights are paid for directly by the person responsible these abuses of authority will continue.
You’re exactly right.
Make lawsuit winnings come out of elected officials and got employee pension and retirement funds. That will end crap like this big time.
