I think having the police force be liable promotes them having better policies relative to scapgoating one person.

After all, its not like the officer went rouge. The problem is police policies not that one individual.

I agree that the problems are systemic. But behavior is individual. It's quite a reasonable way to fix the systemic issues is to hold every individual accountable for their behavior. There should be investigations in the aftermath to see how much of it was training and the trainers should be similarly sacked/liable, so we can weed out all the garbage in the end.
