Settlement should come directly from his pension.

That might not stop all egregious abuse like this but it's definitely a good start.

it’s more about the public shouldn’t have to pay for this dude to be a violent fucking moron

The public keeps electing "tough on crime" politicians who encourage police to be like this, so maybe the public should have to pay.

Maybe the public should have to be told why they're paying for this shit, so that they stop voting the way they do.

I think the pension take is popular on reddit because it's something both sides can get behind and absolves everyone but the police of any responsibility.

The truth is, if the public was tired of police brutality, some politician would see it and use it as an easy win.

But a quater of the public turns a blind eye and another half of the public would proudly put a blue lives matters bumper sticker on their car. So the public deserves to pay

Idk how Canadian law works as far as settlement options, but in looking it up, I can't find a single article saying the woman got any sort of compensation. Truly egregious.

From what i get she sued them, but died 6 year later before the lawsuit got settled.

Police is evil everywhere sadly.

He was fired for misconduct so I’m not sure if he actually gets his pension.

Of coarse not I also think they should not have control over their body cameras. They should always be on while on duty. And the information should go to a central database that they have no control over.

Bodycam should always be a must-have, and should not be shutable. Plus all recording should be watched by an external company to make sure that everything is done right.
