Police Brutality - Step 2

[aphar]

Next step after eliminating special treatment for government officials - require all law enforcement officers to carry indemnity
insurance, similar to malpractice insurance carried by physicians and dentists.
Police unions can organize that.
Then insurance companies can assess personal risk of each officer and place the price on police misconduct. Basically, a Derek Chauvin will not be able to afford such an insurance after a few official reprimands and will have to leave the police force.

Plumbers and electricians carry liability insurance against damage to property only, that’s why it’s cheap. I don’t think their insurance covers serious bodily harm or death to third parties as result the covered worker’s malpractice. Alternatively, I may be mistaken and such events may be covered but are exceedingly rare so as not constitute the main risk to the insurer.
