Exactly, that is not a cure all but it’s a doable fix that could be implemented even in today’s political environment with a little work. Every cop gets the amount of their liability insurance it would cost if they weren’t a prick, and they pay the premium.
The easiest way to get this accomplished politically is to create insurance for them. Have the departments cover the base insurance rate and premium increases from settlements increase that officers insurance which (s)he has to pay out of their pay. If the insurance is unaffordable then you can no longer be a police.

I’d love that, but I don’t think (at least here in the US) that there will ever be a meaningful change to how killer cops are managed legally.

Single events do not define a whole country. We get the changes we fight (vote) for.
