I have no idea. The insurance probably doesn't even exist right now. I guarantee it will be bargained out in the next CBA if it gets enacted.

I think a lot of departments would just cover the entire cost or portion of the cost like other employers buy group healthcare insurance plans. I am hesitant about stripping people of pensions too. Basically I don't want this anti-police moment or whatever forked into an attack on all public workers.

I think civilian oversight boards are a good reform to make. School boards have to have scheduled public meetings every month or so. There is no reason why the police internal management is a black box. Many school boards are elected too. It is somewhat of a militarist system to have the police chief the subordinate of a singular mayor.

Departments cover professional liability insurance right up until it becomes too expensive. If I have too many fuckups, my insurance rates will skyrocket. If I had an employer covering it, they might think twice about keeping me employed.

I understand your logic but I would again point out that the American police institution functions in its own way that often contradict how any other group works whether it in public service or the private sector. The police have a habit of holding onto problematic employees even though in any other business or public service such workers would be removed. I can see American police lobbying for more money or finding ways to make up fines in order to pay for some problematic cop's higher insurance premium rather than getting rid of the chief's drinking buddy.

How do you feel about my civilian review board idea? If you like it, should they be allowed to fire officers? Do you think the police force should be separated from the control of mayors?

Hey guys, I just had this great idea.

What if every citizen had to carry rape insurance? Wait hear me out on this.

What if everyone had to have rape insurance, if for some reason they started thinking about raping someone they'd immediately think:

"wait a minute, if I rape someone then my rape insurance premium will go up, I'll lose my no-rape discount, I'll go down from platinum to bronze rape cover, and if I want to change insurance provider they'll ask "have you committed any rapes in the last five years" and I'll have to say "yes, yes I have, does that affect my premium?" and they'll say "yes unfortunately it does, sorry about that sir" and so probably I think its all not worth it and I'm going to give up on this rape idea because thinking about my budget over the next five to ten years I can't really afford it especially if I might want to get married which is expensive what with the suits and the cakes and all"

Do the principals of your design firm carry professional liability insurance? Why do they do that? Why don't they just make their workers stop making errors?
