The Cop/City pay and pay. This also needs to happen to all of these brutal militarized police acts...decision makers understand $$$$, oh yeah, and I'm hoping this will back them off the quickest. What other ideas can we think of? Please list, as this obviously needs to stop for the safety of those victimized as well as our Nation and what's left of our democracy.
