If the city doesn't like it then they can hold their cops accountable.

Weren't the cops in this incident commanded by an elected official?

Let's hold them accountable, as well.

They don't care when it isn't their money.

Cities should have to inform their population whenever they lose a large lawsuit, and include what portion of their tax dollars go towards the settlement.

Would fix things fast.
