I see no further response from me it seems this will not get us anywhere.

I guess giving a 19 year old a badge and gun or taser is necessary but in the wrong circumstances, a problem.

Thankfully an independent judiciary, with people who have relatives and friends on the street who could easily be victims of brutality, have the final say.

However, every compensation award the city has to pay for the overreaction of a rookie means that we all pay as taxpayers.

Thats why the city has the right, which it often exercises, to recover the amounts paid from the offending officer for acting on a frolic. Consequently, they dont always get their pension funds.

It is a tough job.
