After a couple million dollar lawsuits the city or state will learn to be more careful with their methods. It's the taxpayer funds, but it's not an endless supply of money. Cities and states have their own budgets.

More than $1.5 billion has been spent to settle claims of police misconduct involving thousands of officers repeatedly accused of wrongdoing.

You'd think, but watching how many millions my local police department and city paid out every single year leads me to believe they just don't care.

There’s a heck of a lot of individual cities and states. Their ability to remain solvent is greater than your ability to stay out of jail.

No. It's not their money and they don't care.
