From the article:

"You’re funny, bro,” one officer says to another, apparently the one who used the stun gun. The officers laugh.

Another says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”

Later the officers say: “Goddamn! Woo! Nice!” adding: “Just remember, you can smell that [inaudible] $30,000 bonus.”

Are these goons being paid a bonus for meeting Miller's quotas?

I had read that they are being paid a paltry $30/hour so a bonus per head would make sense erronis Jul 26 #2
