No, and increase the personal liability for misconduct

police are enforcers of the law and for them to disobey it would be even worse than if a normal person were to do it

There are open Proud boys serving on the police force in my city and others. The lack of accountability is resulting in marginalized communities being targeted, and attacked by a police officers. They are here to protect and serve not to be Judge, jury, and executioner.

Police officers are ultimately civilians, so they should be held to the same standard as any other member of the public.

Therefore, implementation of personal liability and misconduct would hold police officers accountable to the actions we have seen, the crimes that continue to be committed, and to their abuse of power. (ex.Darryl Tyree Williams- died at 32 on Jan 17, 2023 in Raleigh, NC. He was tasered and killed by a cop after he informed them of heart issues.) Source: usatoday.com; SayTheirNames List)

Lawsuits against the police should be able to include an element of liability for the officer(s) involved and not just mindlessly penalize the tax payers instead. The way it is now is literally the end result of the bullying in society that happens now: The bully is most often not punished and instead a "blame or punish" everyone in the room mentality happens. ex: Student A is a jerk or bullies other students. Teacher didn't "see" it (although I think most of the time they know full well what is happening) and so everyone is given detention / loses privileges, etc.

15% of civilians who experience police threat or use of force during interventions are injured, 250,000 civilian injures are caused by law enforcement annually, and that more than 600 people are killed by law enforcement each year.

Once again, I think law enforcement officers need to be held accountable for violating someone's constitutional rights.

with lack of accountability you get the police from afro man's music video, "will you help me repair my door." where not only traumatize his kids, but disconnect his surveillance cameras and have been caught taking his money. Are the several videos from all around the country of police brutality not enough? or the case of John Lang, all while a conspiracy, with the heavy evidence, there was no investigation.

Power can often get to someone's head and giving anyone, police or otherwise, immunity to being held liable for misconduct, results in crimes being swept under the rug and brushed off. This allows people in power to get away with negative behavior with no repercussions which is an overall detriment.

Police should be held to the same legal standards as any other US citizen. They are not infallible just because they have a badge. They are human just like the rest of us and should be treated the same as any other citizen if they commit a crime.
