I would also include higher ranking officers' pensions/benefits funds in that pool of lawsuit funding. Imagine some sargeant or lieutenant having to pay out because the idiots under them couldn't keep it together when interacting with the public. Do you think they'll stand for having money coming out of their pockets?
Edit: grammar

Get rid of the laws that protect the murders and rapists and police unions become moot in terms of this nonsense and simply become collective bargaining representatives for cops, like they're supposed to be. For example, drastically change or get rid of qualified immunity for LEO. For heaven's sake, finally make all sexual encounters with those in custody illegal and prosecute sex with those in custody as rape. Uniformed cops should be held to at least the same criminal standards as everyone else, and for damned sure off duty cops who commit a crime shouldn't be given any special protections under the law and should be treated like a civilian.

Henry's Law (I believe, been awhile since college/grad school) partial pressure of dissolved gas in liquid is proportional to partial pressure of undissolved gas. IIRC, it goes: p1/a1 = p2/a2 where one side of the equation describes gas dissolved at a given atmospheric pressure and the other side describes gas dissolved at a changed atmospheric pressure.
