Baltimore to leave its cops on the hook for civil suit payouts

So victims are unlikely to collect and as a consequence are unlikely to be able to get a lawyer to pursue civil damages.

I haven’t checked other news sources (yet), but I didn’t see anything in the BB post that prohibited civil suits against the city also. In fact, I don’t see how a filing party could be prohibited from naming both cops and city in a suit.
