The thing that really makes things worse is that the police are causing most of these protests and riots with their violent, unwarranted behavior.

This triggers riots and protests, which require the police to work overtime.

They get paid for causing all these problems, and well paid. Their overtime costs must be tremendous. And who ends up paying? We do.

We should claw back police overtime pay for any protests or riots that are caused by the police themselves. I think that's fair and equitable.

Don't throw all police officers into one bucket.

You have some outliers that are violent and the rest just does their job - keeping the city more safe.

Also don't assume all cases of police officer shooting a person are cases of police brutality - this is for court to prove.

Why don’t the good ones arrest the bad ones then? Or even testify in court?

The world is not black and white.

There is some evil that is done by good guys, and a tribe/community protects them. This is normal human behavior.

Sociopaths are a minority.

Would you protect your child if he/she did a hit&run? Would you report him/her right away?

I would turn in a colleague if they did a hit and run, which is much closer to what we’re talking about. That appears to be something cops are incapable of doing.
