Genuine question: when has that been done outside of a nationstate to nationstate sort of deal?

Because they bear part of the cost.

Worse, it burdens those not responsible with the cost as well.

Right. So why do taxpayers pay for that? Should citizens pay for cops mistakes?

Granted. Didn't know the government paid out for that.

I'm going to guess that where we differ is that I see a moral problem in making those who are not guilty pay for those who are, whereas you are seeing it as a collective responsibility regardless of individual culpability.

Are you part of the government? Did you make these decisions? If not, how are you responsible?
Unless you suggest we provide reparations of this sort in lieu of other spending, but even then, the cost is still borne by those (99.999%) who have had no involvement at all with the wrongdoing. I have a problem with this.
