What price do the actual people in charge at the time or present pay? Only the average tax payer pays. The perpetrators of the crime of misconduct have no real consequences.
Retribution is not a solution either. Police in places like Germany have an order of magnitude less problems due to an order of magnitude more training.
Punish conservatives that underfund police training. Not the call-girl politisluts. They whore for anything because they have no ethics or values. Murder inherited wealth in the country. Take everything except a trust fund that covers an upper middle class lifestyle for one's immediate family dependents.
All problems in the USA are due to gross inherited wealth. Business acumen and intelligence are not hereditary. The system lacks meritocracy, which always leads to rot and failure. Every big name you know is tied to the toxic culture of great inherited wealth. The core problem is systemic and cultural. Fix the real issue.
