Best news!

They should give every police officer a performance bonus for each criminal they kill. Maybe even a stat web site... like the Battlefield battle log type site.

A officer earns points according to the type of criminal... 10 points for a murderer/rapist, 8 points for hijackers and violent criminals, 6 points for thieves.

Bonus points should allocated if the criminal killed is a politician.

Cool, one less criminal.
Pity that there are so many of them.

They already covered that when deciding to break into the house.
