Then what's the point of your comment? If your not advocating for personal responsibility/liability of officers what are you trying to say?

If this has to do with unsafe transport vans with no seatbelts, then there's moral culpability not only to the cops, but the department, the state, suppliers, who knows? As for who foots the bill, probably just the state.

Some people don't think cops should be accountable for their actions, especially if that accountability might cost them a couple dollars. Those same people tend to not see problems in the behavior of the police..
