Moving on from (and perhaps contradicting) the previous point, I give you the city-coffers draining problem of Police widows. I know Ive just said that its hard to kill people outside of lobotomies and decapitations, but when theres a whole score of ultraviolent nihilists who are acutely aware of that fact and will exploit it even/especially against the boys in blue, youre going to have one hell of an expensive bodycount on your hands. I know the filth can swarm an errant gunman if hes not careful, but its honestly quite frightening how many policemen one armed goon with a plan can get through. If they take cover in an unflankable underground station, the whole thing just becomes a shooting gallery of epic, tragic proportions. If were thinking too hard about this (and goddamn it, thats why youre here), youve got to think that most of these officers have wives or families thatll be entitled to compensation for their loved ones dying on the job. And my, will there be a lot of claims. Remember, its not really a gun battle in GTA until at least a large cohort of police officers have bit the dust, and each and every one of those men curiously, theres very few women in the LSPD, but sexism takes a back seat to the murder-y personnel turnover will be entitled to some sort of lump sum. Frankly, Im not surprised Los Santos is as poorly run as it is at least 20% of the budget must be dedicated to Police compensation, and another 20% to actually keeping what seems to be an improbably vast (given the obvious job hazards) police force. When faced with such a ludicrous drain, youd be cutting hilarious corners too.
