This is huge for justice. Protection for personal property is one of the most fundamental tenets of our society. Don't know why it takes so long for the wheel of justice to get going.

The whole point of a taxpayer funded police force is so that police operations are not biased because of where the money comes from. Having the police profit from police operations completely subverts that.
agreed, I'm inclined to think that "electing" your police force also subverts it. Douglas Adams was bang on the nail when he said something to the tune of "that the only beings that can and should be trusted with power is those that dont want it, or aren't aware they have it"

To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem."
