The government USED illegal force. So why should we merely say "tsk tsk" and let the tinpot tyrant have their way?
Your person and your rights belong to you more than your house or your car, and are more difficult to regain once lost. Yet you would only punish the theft of your car, and submit to the theft of your rights?? Why?
Your RIGHTS are guaranteed, but your car isn't. So why would you be willing to punish someone for stealing something for which you have no guarantee, but that which is guaranteed is to be sheepishly handed over?
Please explain to me how depleting the public treasury restores those lost rights. Allow me to more clearly state my position: public officials that violate the public trust, behave in illegal manner, etc should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, department policy, etc. I'm not sure how much clearer I can state it.
Now please explain to me how robbing the taxpayer of his/her descretionary income (ie liberty) to compensate a victim of a crime by the .gov (again assuming no financial loss) does the people any favors.
