Again, they have families to feed. But apparently, you don't care. So your opinion is irrelevant.
Also, the funds for the bullets come from local taxpayers, so what do you care, if you don't live in the Akron area?

Because the point is to get them to avoid doing things like unloading 90 rounds at one guy! It's not about where the money comes from. Fine them for being wasteful and maybe, just maybe, they'll be less wasteful. It's the same kind of deterrent as traffic tickets. Don't want to lose money, then don't do shit you shouldn't be doing.

And it's not like this is a one off thing, there are tons of situations where cops wildly fire dozens of rounds. And unfortunately, a lot of those situations end up with someone other than the suspect being hit. Like, I wish I could find the exact incident, but I remember another topic on CE where cops fired 40+ rounds at one guy and ended up accidentally hitting and killing one of their own. So the suspect was charged with the murder of that officer.
