I'd prefer that Pogan's direct supervisor, partner, training instructors, and any other cops in the area at the time of attack would also be fired, along with Pogan's father losing his pension. If that happened, then I'm with Voice of Reason on damages. ...and I can promise all those firings and loss of pension would get better results than a 1.5 million dollar suit. Problem is, this is the system we have, so *shrug* The point of the cash is to punish the institution, which hopefully creates a disincentive in regards to something like it from happening again VoR.
