Bit idea: twitter account that, in the wake of every cop death, estimates the amount of tax dollars saved in cop salary for the average career and keeps a running total.
The median salary for a cop in Ohio is around 64k, the average cost of equipment per cop is around 10-11k, with deductions happening based off if retiring cops pass down certain pieces of equipment like bullet proof vests, I believe cops pay for their ‘trainings’ out of pocket, but if not those add a few extra thousand dollars every couple of years. So around 75-83 thousand dollars saved per cop annually. (The range is so large to account for varying salaries, still averaged between most city centers, as opposed to lower rural salaries, since most cops are in urban areas.)
All he did was send a cop on permanent leave. I don’t see what the problem is, its what the state would have done
he’s saving the taxpayers money!

This should exist but not as a bit.
