Officers should carry professional malpractice insurance just like doctors and lawyers. Just like doctors and lawyers, if the officer has too many malpractice claims, their insurance premiums rise. The cost of those premiums should be on the officer.
This will result in good cops being readily insurable and able to afford their insurance payments, while bad cops will price themselves out of being cops. Our country loves capitalism. What is more capitalist that this?
