It does quite properly come from the taxpayer though.
And, if the taxpayers remain the idiots they were to vote in an administration that had low enough standards that this was possible then they need to lose exponentially more if there is another incident.
Sometimes, you have to understand (even if you don’t like it) the consequences run back up and body slam the top of the authority structure.
In America, that top is the voter.
We get what we deserve.
Thank you.
I have written that a few times here on FR when people post about these law suits being paid for by the tax payers. I do agree the individual cops need to have a financial burden placed on themselves to ensure they get punished for their actions. Maybe have the government write the check and then take a percentage out of their paychecks for the rest of their lives.
