"Bet those local police are damn proud of themselves. A real feather in their caps. Maybe they'll get a friggin' medal for their bravery. Service above and beyond the norm."

This is sort of drastic, and I hate to say this (especially since I have quite a few friends who are cops), but those of you in that county could try calling your local FOP lodges and let them know in no uncertain terms that they aren't ever seeing another cent from you again.
