This is punishment by the standards of righteousness, not reason. They are essentially innocent victims of the situation. One can imagine this example will cause cops in the future to act differently, and that’s the only way to see this as for the good.

Maybe not. But what about the public sector? Florida has about 245,000 public employees.
