Whoa! That's ridiculous. I had no idea.
There are a few bad cops out there who no doubt deserve to get sued, but they are undoubtedly a small percentage of that 30,000.
Cops ought to be insulated somehow from this kind of nonsense and the greedy lawyers who accompany it.
That's just not right. You don't ask a guy to put his life on the line and then expect this of him too.
