4. Insurance companies should tie pay outs to pensions for repeat offenders. When the repeat offender

... is hired without due diligence then the pension pays.

Looks like that'll keep these guys from keeping the known a holes in their depts

6. This is a perfect example of why people call cops....PIGS. Until cops are held accountable for their

actions then this will continue. Just another example of the sorry justice system we have in America. The Mayor should be applauded for his actions - now send all of these officers to prison for murder.

8. The mayor advocates for and approves of huge budget increases for the cops. What does he expect?
