Cash will soon go straight into the police department’s bank account. Notice they rarely say how much.

Oh isn’t it nice that they have a “widows and orphans” fund for families of police and their associates, but forget about the families of innocents who are murdered or worse. How a law enforcement officer can justify stealing is to me, as dispicable as it gets. Sickening is a major understatement . To me the difference is, law enforcement officers CHOOSE to do what they do, and are extremeley well paid for what they do. Families of innocent victims, on the other hand, have no safety net, and with the state going broke no real means of being compensated for their losses even through victim witness. we know, we’re living it.
