      I would rather make the police union responsible. It’s the only union Republicans care about and the only union that exists in part to oppress union organizers.

        The second the police union has to start footing the bill, you’ll suddenly see a whole lot of cops being fired and accountability for behavior materialize out of the ether.

        You’ll also see a whole lot of violence in the streets, too, to be clear. Cause if theres one things cops just cant fucking stand, its being held accountable, and they’ll burn the entire system down to prevent it…or, failing that, out of spite.

          Fat chance. What’s more likely is that you’ll see new laws pop up making it illegal to sue the police. These dirtbags aren’t giving up their control.
