So who pays?

The families of the Liverpool fans who died in Sheffield are going to sue the South Yorkshire and West Midlands police farces for damages. A figure of £20 million is being tossed around as the gross figure. But do the coppers who screwed up, lied about it, blackened the names of the fans and tried to cover up what they’d done have £20 million? Plus about another £20 million for the cost of the trial? Or will they just stand on the sidelines and watch the taxpayer stump up?
