It's just how insurance works. Whenever you hear a story about like a mother suing their kid because they fell or something, it's really just two insurance companies suing each other.

You are correct. Voting isn't going to solve this problem.

The thing is that emergency personnel aren't liable if they're responding to an emergency. The courts will side with them 99% of the time.

His case was lost before he even filed it.

Also, paying out isn't done out of the city budget. These huge payouts you see are from the city's insurance policy, and that policy likely requires them to fight it.

One of my wife's friends just had her trip to Japan delayed by 36h and she just got an email saying she'd have to go through the CTA even though they promised her the money at like 3 separate points.

That.. Doesn't make sense. Qualified immunity means that the officers can't be sued individually, not that the department can call it.

But, he was hit while they were responding to an emergency, so his lawsuit was never going to be successful.

I really think we need to amend the constitution to allow a true democratic vote of no confidence for all federally elected positions.

Yeah, you might as well not vote. You're never going to sway enough people to vote independent to challenge one of the big two, especially since the choice right now is between old people or people trying to establish a fascist theocracy.
