Getting paid leave in response to doing your <br />job badly is a joke, if a firefighter showed up to a fire and killed the victims of the fire they would be <br />investigated and fired immediately. If a plumber showed up to my house and destroyed my toilet he would get <br />fired. Why does it make any difference for a police officer? <br />Increasing funding towards the police force is antithetical to increasing public safety. Instead, these funds <br />should be diverted to mental health, public health, school programs, etc. Increasing funding to the police force <br />is spitting in the face of the Santa Ana constituent. <br />The saying is 'one bad apple spoils the whole barrel'. <br />Thanks, <br />Meelad Vandat <br />
