This doesn’t actually work in reality because governments are constantly underfunded and nobody is going to tie a funding shortage in, say for example, 2024 to a lawsuit settled in 2022 over a crime that happened in 2018.
We saw the response to the George Floyd protests in that nobody is going to change their mind about the issue when they’re fed a constant stream of propaganda from police, Facebook, YouTube, the news, etc painting police as heroes because that’s what they portray in movies and TV.
They’ll just whine about how crime is so bad because they don’t have enough funding, and they need more officers/equipment. All they have to do to convince people of this is simply not do their job and every Karen in the city will be screaming on Facebook about how “you get what you vote for” and “this is what happens when you defund the police.” Before too long they’re awarded half the city budget and go back to breaking the law and trampling people’s rights.
