an excellent example of union's abusing their power...
It's improper, and likely illegal, to use official cars to make a statement in a labor dispute. Why does the Department not just remove the plates?
Actually they have been using the cruisers to make statements since i moved out here. All cruisers have signs in the back windows with comments about the work action. This is on top of officers refusing to wear their uniform pants and opting for jeans or camouflage pants (which is of tne purple camo design). Its really the only form of protest they can make since they can't strike i guess. I don't know the details of the wage dispute other than the fat the force is pretty much the worst paid in the region and "from what i Hear" it was not a large raise.
Not saying I agree, just giving some more background.
And no, the Mayor is no the chief of police.
