Comment Unfortunately, the troops on the ground don't care (Score 1) 231

As long as the cash is not coming out of their pockets, why should they? The taxpayers don't have visibility to these expenses. The Mayor is the one that should be all over this. It's his budget this money will come from. He would have to raise property taxes to cover lawsuits. The Mayor is the publicly elected official that can be booted if taxes go too high. The Mayor can turn the screws on the Chief of Police to minimize these incidents. Basically, all municipalities would need to publicize what % of their law enforcement budget goes to cover lawsuits and how that relates to the national averages.

That's all nice and great in unicorn land. What about a society where the criminal element is already armed? If you were starting from scratch and no one was armed your silly diatribe would be acceptable. In the real world in the US you can't disarm all the criminals no matter how many laws you pass.
