The cop was a Fed?

My bad. Just meant government. The employer should be held responsible if a person can prove there was not proper oversight. So, in the example given, there were multiple signs that show this cop was a bad actor and the police department did nothing. I don't see why the department should be protected. I hate, as the taxpayer, to pay for stuff like this, but this is a part of holding the government accountable. We have to create some avenues that empower the citizens. Imo, this is why our government has run amuck.
