8. Defund the fuckers, take away all their toys, hammer them on juries, and end the failed drug war.

If that doesn't hitch their little red wagon then community ostracism and give them the same solidarity on pensions and benefits they have shown to the rest of us from their catbird seat.

By all means put them in Volts, increase standards, freeze or cut pay, and an automatic one year hiatus from the street (desk duty only, justified or not) with the use of deadly force and only released back to active duty after passing psychological exams.

The revenue streams must be slowed, their are too many incentives to keep on keeping on along the path we are on and it won't end well for most of us.
