The Minnesota death of George Floyd is going to change things

The battle at Kruger showed that the herd puts up with and puts up with and puts up with until it doesn't and after that point, things change.  The recent policy change by University of Minnesota regarding no longer affiliating with the police for game security, etc. is clear evidence that the people have had enough.  The university didn't want to change but people called in and either expressed fear of the police or demanding that the university stop using their officers as security (in other words, day cops were making money as rent-a-cops at events).

This move represents a loss of income for the department members and so the misbehavior of a few of their own FINALLY affects all of them.  It doesn't take much of this kind of thing for cops to begin policing their own which is what should have happened in the George Floyd case.  3 other cops were standing around watching the one cop casually squeeze the life out of a helpless man on the ground who was left to beg in vain for his life as they executed him on the spot.  It was their job to ensure that their team member did not go overboard but instead all they did was keep the angry herd off of the killer so he could complete his task.

I applaud U of MN for breaking ranks and making this policy change in a public way.  It shows that the establishment is breaking ranks and a divided house cannot stand.  The people need to begin tying the police pension fund payout to corrupt killings by the police.  It's simple: for every person that is killed by cops without good reason, 1% of the accrued benefits of the police force will just evaporate.  The funds will be moved from police pension funds to public funds and will then be used to pay the family of the victims a huge out-sized payout.  In this way, each and every murder caused by the police will be felt by every member of the team and that long standing blue line will simply collapse.  Cops will be taking the bad cops around back of the woodshed and reading them the riot act.  When faced with the moral depravity of institutionalized murder of the people, cops don't give a fucking shit.  But if it actually affects them personally then you better believe these corrupt assholes will care.  There will be no need for administrative action because regular cops will slap the bad apples around in order to make sure they toe the line and don't mess up the gravy train called public pension.

No matter, we will default on all of them anyway. Not because we want to but because it is built into the debt Ponzi.
