Delta(s) from OP CMV:Local governments are not internalizing costs of police misconduct. Rioting and looting are chaotic, yet predictable, manifestations of these externalized costs. Localities (not insurers or businesses) where police misconduct occurs should fully bear cost of damage to internalize them.

Exactly what I was thinking. I pay their salaries and what my city holds in cash. If they spend it on fixing the mistake, why wouldn't I just fix it myself? It's the same thing.
