the taxpayers will foot the bill for the payout, not the individual officers. The officers are allowed to hide behind "qualified immunity".........

The City of Denver, and the City of Aurora have paid out many tens of millions of tax payer's dollars, in lawsuits against their Police Dept's these past 5+ Years. One in Aurora esp that was the result of cops & paramedics literally euthanizing some innocent young black guy, just walking down the street minding his own business......Guilty of only "walking while black".......
