I've never heard of a cop that was trigger happy that went around shooting random people.

Eight Los Angeles police officers who mistakenly opened fire on Los Angeles Times newspaper delivery women thinking they were rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner in 2013 will not be criminally charged, the L.A. County district attorney’s office announced Wednesday.

The officers opened fire in the predawn hours of Feb. 7, 2013, as Margie Carranza and her mother, Emma Hernandez, were slowly cruising though a Torrance neighborhood in a pickup truck delivering papers.

Law enforcement officers around the region were on edge during the massive manhunt for Dorner, the ex-LAPD officer who sought vengeance against police officials he blamed for his firing. Dorner ultimately killed four people and wounded three others before he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound during a shootout with police near Big Bear.

They should have been prosecuted but that is no justification for requiring individual policies, especially when those policies would just be paid for by their employer that should already have insurance.

i'm completely fine with police unions buying insurance policies for their members. i'm also of the mindset that there should be constitutional amendments prohibiting government entities from maintaining the insurance for police lawsuits. and despite that they SHOULD have been prosecuted, they weren't. so how do we handle that?

We need police prosecuted by an agency other than the DA’s office who relies on the police department.

another government agency?????? ANOTHER???? yay, more government who will only end up being close to the governments enforcers.

Yeah, well, they aren’t getting prosecuted under the current system, and there was a time you supported the idea, but I guess you forgot that just to argue.

Well, we could begin with having police that don't shoot unarmed people who are of no threat.

good luck with that. we've seen that numerous times already and if they aren't 'not charged' by DAs, they are having charges dismissed by judges, or being no billed by grand juries, or acquitted by fucktard idiot juries who think cops have a tough job and should be allowed to make mistakes.

Pay them more so people lost after high school who go off to the police academy and will work for cheap are not the only people in your employment pool. If you want to change the atmosphere, then it will require changing federal law to make it a civil rights violation so there is a check on this overly cozy relationship between judges, prosecutors, and the police who huddle up day to day and pretend they are independent and objective.

you think that changing the pay rate is going to fix cops killing unarmed people? you think that telling the government to stop protecting their own or else, is going to fix cops killing unarmed people?
