It's even worse than jail. They force the innocent to pay for their own incarceration.

This is from 10 days ago, but I don't remember seeing it here. Burn down a bank and get probation. Arresting officer will undoubtedly be sent to jail.
November 30th: "One of two men charged with setting fire to a Chase bank in La Mesa following last year's contentious protest outside the city's police headquarters received a term of probation Tuesday and was ordered to stay away from several La Mesa businesses connected with post-protest looting. Ricky Bernard Cooper, 34, pleaded guilty last month to arson and burglary charges for the May 30, 2020, fire inside the Chase bank branch at 4791 Spring St., as well as for looting stores at the La Mesa Springs Shopping Center. At Cooper's sentencing hearing, the prosecutor said part of what helped police identify Cooper was a video he recorded of himself at the protest and later posted on Facebook.
Johnson's arrest by Officer Matthew Dages of the La Mesa Police Department was captured on video and proliferated over social media, prompting backlash against the police department and a federal lawsuit filed by Johnson against the city. Dages has since been charged with a felony count of filing a false police report for allegedly lying about the basis of his contact with Johnson and is set to go to trial this week."
