Reply to comment by jojenns in Boston police account for $31 million of city legal payouts since 2020, including $16 million for wrongfully convicted man - The Boston Globe by TouchDownBurrito
Well I don't kill people for money so it's kind of a moot point isn't it

Nonsense smoke screen aside just answer the question. if your employer was sued would you be ok with the settlement money to come out of your pension/401K?

its not a nonsense smokescreen actually its getting at the heart of the problem here. my company disposes of hazardous material, if i pulled a BPD and just dumped it in some guys backyard giving that entire family various diseases then i would not expect the tax payers to cover for me. luckily for new england residents hazardous materials have tons of regulations and oversight, unlike the police.

Its definitely a nonsense smokescreen. BPD’s job is not to kill people as you stated. An astronomically low percentage of the time it happens and an astronomically high amount of time it is justified. The police also do have oversight. How’s this you even elect the people who oversee them. But again getting back to the core of the question…if some other folks at your company are illegally dumping somewhere and the EPA fines your company a million dollars . You’d be ok with paying the fines out of your pension/401K correct?
