re: #176 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

I think making them more personally concerned about bad behavior is the key. And tying the lawsuit settlements to police pension funds and not general town budgets will certainly get the point across since illegal behavior will be coming out of *their* future income.

You can’t tie it to a police pension fund.

Collective punishment for an individual’s behaviour is Old Testament justice, not secular American justice.

The only way you could do that is if you could uncover a criminal conspiracy by the union to engage in such conduct.

Tying it to the town budget and opposing all general bonds sends the message to taxpayers that they are responsible for the politicians they elect and the police they hire.
