I’m only saying that the “cops can kill with impunity” paradigm will inevitably lead to more cop deaths.
If a cop is injured on the job, the township can potentially face $millions in workman's comp and other expenses. If a cop shoots a civilian, the police department's budget is not affected.
One solution would be, if there's an unjustified killing, one byproduct is the police pension fund loses a few million $$$. Training and ROE would change quickly.
