My question now is this--do those officers go back on the force? I would say no for two reasons.
1. They are a potential target for perceived wrongdoing.
2. If they ever have an incident again, the family of the future victim/criminal would have an easy route to sue--how could the good people of Baltimore City let this animal back on the force considering his history? Pay me.

The money that was awarded to the family was the result of a civil suit - not a criminal one. The two are separate and by law do not interfere on each case.

If something goes wrong in the future, you can't use "past acts" as evidence. The same double-jeopardy rule protects them.
That is only criminal law, though... Lord only knows what might pass muster in another civil suit. Which is why I said that I think you are right but it will mostly be for CYA/political reasons they are relieved of duty.

This is what I am saying. They people that he may wrong in the future have and easy track to a lawsuit considering past performance. Like it or not ,the guys history would be brought up, so I say don't let him back on the force, give him an early retirement and send him on his way.

I agree with 1, they're a potential target in all aspects. More scrutiny will be placed on them, we've already seen it increased recently on all law enforcement.
Baltimore City created that pay me society you speak of. They should let the courts handle that.
