Funding public union pensions has bankrupted many municipalities, causing them to try to make up the shortfall with ‘user fees’ in the form of fines.

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that you're correct in this case, that justifies using the police as a money maker?

It doesn’t justify it, it explains it. Big government is always oppressive and corrupt. Our founders new that. I guarantee you that many of the same citizens complaining in this article go out and vote for big government at the local, state, and federal levels every election. They want big government, but they want someone else to pay for it.

Actually, the opposite.
It’s usually the left that is decrying the fleecing being done in Ferguson,
so I’m pointing my finger squarely back at them.

They never accept the responsibility for the consequences of the policies they put in place.
