so cops who put their lives on the line for us don't deserve more because whiney trash collecters want to get rich and can't stand the thought of as anything less than king?
No, cops didn't deserve the raise in pensions that they got at the expense of other public servants.
Cops know what they're getting into when they sign up. If they don't like it.. too fucking bad. They can go get a job slinging a shovel or driving a cab.
Cops do choose their career. It's an honourable and brave profession and should not even be considered on the same level as the rest of these people.
Cops, Fire, EMS & military should be provided for to the highest extent possible.
sigh......I will try one last time.
They are not on the same level, they all make way more than me in my first job so they are well compensated for their choice as they should be.
You say Cops, Fire, EMS.....well guess what? EMS are getting screwed as well with the two thirds rule that does not apply to police and firefighters.
I pay 50% into my pension just like anyone of these groups so I should get a 50% say as to what happens to it.
In fact if that two thirds rule were removed you would not see any job action at all.
