It's not just the cost of misconduct. It is also the cost of settling instead of going to court. In my previous town the local PD was chasing a burglar who hid under a porch. A K-9 went under the porch and the perp kicked him in the face really hard. The officer pulled his dog back and went in himself and met resistance. This ended with a Taser employment where one of the darts hit the suspect in the left testicle. It was reported that with that dart placement the taser was extremely effective.

The city settled with the suspect for $45k despite the criminality which led to his encounter with police.

I’d love to know the cost Baltimore will pay for THEIR temper tantrum.... But I a sure that the Fed will front them the money.

By that I mean, US taxpayers will pick up the tab. In the end-taxpayers (hard working, law abiding people) always pay.

“Raising the Cost” is a tactic from Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”.

Death penalty verdicts? Too expensive!

Long prison terms? Too expensive!

Vigorous law enforcement? Too expensive!

Protecting citizens from crime? Too expensive!

This is just further proof that Shakespeare was RIGHT to say:

“The first thing we do, let’s [kick] all the lawyers.”
