> and make police buy insurance

Why should good cops subsidise corrupt cops (with a hefty overhead for the insurance companies)? Doesn't that create an additional incentive to be corrupt? Many people are more sensitive to punishment than reward: I'd expect having your premiums go up because a fellow officer got done for abusive conduct would feel like arbitrary group punishment.



Sounds like an incentive for the departments and unions to push out bad cops.

Teachers buy school supplies, tradesmen buy their own tools, police can buy insurance.


An incentive for them to quietly push out bad cops, and cover up their misdeeds long after they're gone. That doesn't sound like a healthy way to solve systemic problems, to me.
