9. 1 month's pay as a fine is laughably low.

I think if an independent commission finds the "mistake" lead to the death of someone who should not have died, that police officer should be fired immediately, and never get to work in the field again. As a MINIMUM. Don't put them on desk duty or "administrative leave" while still paying them. Don't transfer them to another department. FIRE THEM. Getting fired is nowhere near as bad as getting killed, so I don't have much sympathy. They can find another job in another field, but do not ever let them have a gun and badge and legal authority over others again.
