Cops should have to carry malpractice insurance like doctors. That way citizens don’t have to pay out when they hurt someone, and they can be labeled uninsurable if they’re too much of an asshole.
That’s a very capitalistic or even libertarian view - i don’t like it but what horrifies me is that in the current US political climate it sounds more feasible than making the police, you know… Not kill people (sigh)
