If this is what you said, that is true. You have a way with words however and no doubt it came out sideways and smelling like steaming broccoli.
But this one is a 'lynchpin' as it were. There is no excuse making this time. Time for some police union busting and serious serious budget cuts to law enforcement. Like 50% off the top and the officers have tO borrow the bullets at a value of $50,000 apiece. A little less than the median income. The officer who uses a bullet justifiably sees a $49,000 reduction but still pays $1000. The police dept still pays $50,000 for a new bullet. Unjustifiably (even accidental) means $50,000 is deducted from his pay for the year. This may put newer cops in absolute negative territory. But the police dept then must borrow a new bullet for $50,000 as well in addition to the $50,000 the cop is paying.
Cop cars would be governed at 5mph over the speed limit. If they drive faster, the car engine dies and cannot be turned back on for a week. Tow truck companies would be instructed to move the car out of traffic and secure it in place. $50,000 gets the car moved out of the elements. The value of car repairs will be paid for by the dept and an amount 7 times the cost of repair deducted from the following year's budget. Armed police would not be allowed within 25 feet of a courthouse.
Any police officer would be required to register in his community for life and would have to register all firearms with the court at an annual cost of $50,000/gun. These being personal weapons, of course. Weapon owning cops could not live within 2000 feet of any community housing minorities or vulnerable people. This might make a cop compound necessary. We will surveil the compound with utmost care and report any off key snoring to the media.
Fire trucks and emt cars would have no such limit and could carry tazers.
