They will likely get sued. I have no idea if they will lose or not. I am just relaying what I was told. When my buddy became a cop during an union orientation they talked about the union coverage they would have. The person giving the class went on to say if you broke the department's policy and it looked like they could get sued the department would likely fire you right away and disavow your actions so they can claim innocents and dump the entire suit on the officer.
I don't know how often that happens or if it works, but I won't be shocked to see them trying to avoid the case by claiming they dumped his ass and were not responsible for his actions.
Also, with the waterpark, it happened on their property and you likely weren't part of a union that had millions in insurance.
