To Fight Crime, a Poor City Will Trade In Its Police

From deeper in the article it says that officers get a 4% shift differential for working days.......and 10% one for working nights.  What kind of moronic city official agreed to that?  I'm guessing the "grease" he got for his palm from the union was pretty good.  Because of liberal sick and leave time, everyday 30% of the scheduled officers don't show up.

I'm guessing if this was a Republican gov doing this exact same thing (or maybe if it was teachers instead of the biggest enemy to our country, cops, as the "victims"), we'd be on page 3 by now with the recreational outrage.  Way to be consistent Dems!

Well this isn't exactly breaking news.  I think HuffPo had something on this a few weeks ago.

Oh, I must have missed the outrage then.

I suppose they'll also ban the layed-off cops from entering the city limits? Cause otherwise this ought to raise crime, not lower it.

Nope and the county is going to hire less than <%49.
