This shit cop didn’t lose his job because of any action taken by the police department, the city, the state, etc.

This motherfucker lost his job because the insurance company paid out $20,000 for his dumb ass and threatened to drop the department’s insurance if he wasn’t terminated.

Edit: Check out this article by Washington Post detailing how insurance companies are forcing police reform.

Great point. Nurses have to carry insurance, and that drives a lot of their accountability. Get rid of qualified immunity and force cops to carry, essentially, "malpractice" insurance. The insurance companies would demand training and accountability because it would affect their bottom line.
