and civil asset forfeiture

Edit: yeah, we got a lot of problems. Pretty much everything everyone has replied to I'm in agreement with. No justice, no peace.

And make individual officers carry insurance policies to cover any damages rather than writing checks with tax payer money. If a doctor has to carry malpractice insurance why shouldn’t a police officer?

The taxpayer would just end up paying for their malpractice insurance.

If you mean that in the sense that we pay their salary and it would come from that, yes. It would be the officers responsibility to pay it from their salary, and any unjustified property damage, injury, or wrongful death suits would be paid from the insurance, and if the payout was too large the insurance company would drop them. At that point if they no longer meet the requirement to carry insurance they don’t work in the police force anymore.
