when police commit crimes against citzens.?

Question

like the recent murders in newyork and atlanta .instead of citys having to pay for damages due to law suits .dont you think making these crimnals pay personaly .would make them use thier heads for more than hat racks knowing it will cost them personaly?

Answer 1

It would be very nice to punish the individual and not the community but in many circumstances, people are greedy- they want to be handed things instead of working for them. Under no circumstances if you were attacked by a homeless person would you sue them for millions of dollars, however, any average joe blow with a job can punish the whole company by making a mistake.

I think that it is not the fault of the community in which those officers reside. It is not fair for the public to pay for their mistakes. The only person(s) who should be penalized are those are involved.

But like i said greedy people would pursue it further and try to sue the state or whatnot for millions of dollars....

I personally believe in an "Eye for an Eye" and wished we could go back many years ago when there was only right and wrong and when you were wrong you were punsihed- either by chopping off the hand or put to death.

Answer 2

You need to get over your problem as Mrs T said. Officers can be held liable for their actions as others have said. You, on the other hand, probably don't have anything worth taking so you won't get sued. What is a shame is that the family of the scum bag who was killed by the police in Florida (suspect killed K-9, handler and another Deputy) is now suing that jurisdiction for wrongful death. Probably (hopefully but not sure with these liberal jury's ) won't go anywhere but I certainly hope that those officers families file a counter suit against the family for the wrongful death of their loved ones. Hell, let's include the dog too. Grow up Mr. Criminal and get over whatever anger issues you have.

Answer 3

Yes, law enforcement officers can be personally sued for damages in both federal and state civil courts. However, most of the time, their employers and unions provide them with legal defense and cover any expenses. Federal, state, and local governments will only do this if the individual officer followed all state, federal, and local laws, along with their individual department policies and procedures. This is where the Internal Affairs investigation comes in. If an agency finds that its officer violated the law and/or neglected to follows it procedures, thus contributing to damages or injury, the agency and local government may not provide any legal assistance to that officer. As a result, the officer may be on his/her own to handle any legal expenses and any monetary damages.

Answer 4

joe b - you need to stop all of the useless repetitive questions about the police and examine your agenda and motives. These are all of your questions over the past 4 days:
[I copied them and the misspells verbatim]
1. When police commit crimes against citzens.?
2. Witch of the ten comandments do police break?
3. Why are police in atlanta changing there story?
4. Do you think we could train monkeys to be cops at least they would not lie about shootings?
5. Now that we know police in atlanta lied about murder they commited?
6. Some people on here think i hate cops its not true i may hate the stupid things they do?
7. It looks like drug cops have become the latest?
8. Police in us have become so reckless?
9. Dosent it seem drug policeare more dangerous than the drugs people use?
10. Looks like rogue police in atlanta?
11. Police arrested my dog for barking?

It's so obvious that you hate the police.
I think you need serious help to get over it.

Answer 5

Exactly. I think we should implement that. As a matter of fact, let's implement that just before you get your AS# kicked and call 911. That way I can think about whether or not you are worth the risk of me having to beat a guy off you. You have my vote!!

Seems like Joe B is a convicted felon with an attitude towards cops. What happened Joe, cop kick your as#?
