And that is the point. The police department is trying to claim they are not responsible. Where as if you or me did something like this, our company could be sued because they are not protected by qualified immunity.

She would like to see qualified immunity changed to all associated parties being responsible when an officer is convicted. She can sue Pierson individually, but she said he has no money or job since he is in prison."

Which is a loophole keeping her from being compensated. If he wasn't in prison and he was still a cop, she couldn't get any money either because he would be protected.

She's free to sue him because the System worked (ie he's fired and incarcerated), that he has no money doesn't change that fact. Suing the government is just suing the taxpayer and that's not the taxpayers problem.
