The problem is that people sue the cops even when the cops did everything they were trained to do. And sometimes they win. So you can’t fire your employee for following orders.

For example, the lady that refused to wear a mask in the subway system, was asked to leave, refused, put her hands on cops and they arrested her in front of her child. She’s suing for TEN MILLION DOLLARS. And obviously there’s a lawyer out there that think she has a case and trying to get a million dollar payday for himself vs a city employed lawyer maybe making 100k win or lose.
