Yeah. These sort of cases should have judgements so large that the city/county/state makes new rules that stop this sort of bullshit. Just compensation for lost earnings and trauma isn't the point here.
And yes, taxpayers end up paying that bill. But taxpayers also elected the dumbass mayor/governor/whatever who hired the dumbass cops, so ... it's dumbasses all the way down.
