Heck, City Hall agreed to pay $13 million to “protesters” — nearly $10K per rioter — arrested during the looting, arson, and violence that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd.

Why on Earth would they do that?

Have the illiterates in NYC government never heard the adage “You get more of what you pay for?”

Or is that their intent?

Why on Earth would they do that?

I believe the cops who were there that day rounded people up when they were protesting peacefully. That has never been the norm in NYC, so they felt they owed them something to make peace and maybe avoid a lawsuit.
