My sister is part of my town EMS's stuff so I can't wait to see her reaction to this knowing first hand how useless my towns cops are

Do you want to get mad?

He was indicted in 2014 for padding overtime.

The charges were dismissed and he’s a police director now.

This thing smelled like a scam the day it was announced. I'm surprised it actually opened at some point.

This sub in a nutshell

These cops make significantly more than anyone in b my team, and everyone has a PhD lol

Maybe time for a career switch? This is insane

And how sure are we that these cops are significantly different than the ones in Uvalde?

Most expansion has been put on hold until the. Tunnels get build also the bridges over the Hackensack and Passaic need to be replaced also.

retire in their 40s and start second careers

If you mean broken as overly generous you are correct my brother-in-law just turned 58 and has been retired for 10 years. About a third of his time on the force he was a middle school resource officer. Most of his days were totally uneventful a bomb scare once, and kids having fistfights. Only time he actually used his service weapon was to euthanize animals hit by cars. He gets $85K+ pension plus premium health benefits to do nothing. That is unsustainable across the entire sum of all the cops we have.

Holy shit! Maybe I should have dropped out of middle school too.

32 cops in our town 20 making more than state average total, 15 over 150K per year.

It’s not an opinion when it happened….in writing. I am accusing you of things. If you didn’t want to be accused of those things you shouldn’t have done them.

now youre just accusing me of things. whatever. you are not my problem. your opinions are not my problem.

No, its not broken. Everyone should be having the same benefits but labor movement is especially weak in the US.

They work real hard to suck taxpayer money that could be going to useful things like infrastructure, education, climate initiatives, security nets

Yeah, nobody who beats up and arrests striking laborers is "working class". Fascist shitheads is more accurate.

A bunch of trucks flying MAGA flags in a smelly swamp? Ya maybe. But they would have to drive through the rest of NJ to get there.

and they'll get 70-80% of those salaries as pensions for the rest of their lives.

I feel like I’m talking to someone who can’t cope with being proven incorrect and instead of just walking away, keeps doubling down despite there being a written trail of them changing their argument and having to grasp at straws.

Who said C+ students can't make good salaries?
