That still doesnt make any sense. Cops are employed by the government. They get a salary paid by tax payers, as they should. I dont want private police forces, I want accountable police forces.

When a cop screws up, it should come out of their own money.

their own money IS tax money. Every dime that goes through them is taxpayer money. You can't "have them pay with their own money" AND have it not be taxpayers money. Whether the cop gets paid or not, it will always be the public, the wronged party, paying for the police's fuckups.

I don't want private police either.But the conceit of this topic is "its fucked up that tax money is used for police settlements." And the response is "unless we go with private police, it always will be."
