I can live with that.

Not me, no sirree bob. We don't shoot protestors in America no matter how obnoxious they get. And if those police officers DO open fire on rock-throwing protestors, I intend to send them a strongly-worded letter informing them that I have a stern 3 Strikes and Out policy, and if they do it 2 more times, I will urge the Mayor to levy a $25 fine against them.

As my sainted mother likes to point out: the protesters calmed down quite a bit after Kent State.

Well! Looks like I have another friend! ;-)

Is that $25 per round fired, $25 per protestor killed/wounded, or just a $25 fine for the entire department?

Because if it's just $25 for the entire department (and then the strke count zeros out), then I'd be happy to send in $25 so they can get to work.
