To me the force seems a little excessive, but I find myself really wondering if we don't have the full story here. She was arrested and brought in for not paying a $100 fine? Really? Is that it? Assuming everything went great and she was brought in, arrested, booked and processed then eventually either paid the fine and was let go or made arrangements after going before a judge to be let go how much money did the city just spend to collect their $100?
There has to be a better, more cost effective way to collect the money then to spend potentially hundreds of dollars in man hours arresting and dealing with the person.
As we see here, things didn't go smoothly and now the city is going to spend a hell of a lot more than $100 to hire two new cops and by firing those two they are basically admitting guilt so there is no telling how much it is going to cost them to settle the lawsuits.
