defund…
the…
police.
It’s wild to me that republicans were spreading the message that Harris was going to defund the police if she got in office.
SHE’S A DAMN COP HERSELF!
This election was nothing but absurdity and a mockery of this nation.
This election, similar like the one in Romania demonstrated how possible is to manipulate people’s beliefs by social media.
Deny Delay Defund
Careful posting that. UHC might try to copyright claim that too.
As someone from a country with functioning police: It appears to me like the USA’s problem is that they don’t fund the police enough, especially their training.
Here the first training for police takes two years, and after that they still regularly have to continue training. It’s a hard process and only the ones who’re suitable make it.
In the USA it takes three months, of course your police doesn’t work properly. Defunding the police would absolutely not fix that.
Defund the police originally meant “stop giving the local police departments high budgets for military surplus gear & vehicles”
This. Well, sort of. Maybe I’m seeing too much of my own experiences here but I feel like they could really stand to be regulated like licensed health professions. Minimum of an associates, sit for board exams, and that board exists to protect the public from you and has the authority to strip or restrict that license.
While this is egregious, it’s not uncommon. The highest paid (including overtime) positions in pretty much every municipality are police. If they weren’t police, much of that overtime would be called racketeering.
But they provide protection. Oh shit, they are literally the mob
It’s easier and you make more money by being the legitimate source than by being the mob.
Plus, who is gonna investigate you then?The mafias all went into legitimate business decades ago and we are seeing effects much later. I mean look into real Italian Olive oil and why no one buys it anymore.
Corporations killing people and the mafias having their kids go to colleges to learn from them how to better profit, it’s a wonder we can’t tell them apart anymore.
It’s wild how people can quit/resign and somehow that’s good enough.
I don’t understand how she would get an extra $12k a month if she worked another year? I can’t think of many things I wouldn’t do for $12k .
Overtime counts in their pension calculations.
We saw similar things after 9/11. Where for a year they had stupid levels of overtime, and it skewed the numbers.
Yes this is wild. Yep outrageous there should be a limit to this kind of thing
See, it’s disgusting to me to say “FUCK THE NYPD” during 9/11…and it’s also disgusting to me NOT to say “FUCK THE NYPD”.
So I’m torn…
But also, FUCK THE NYPD!
They have strong unions; and are the one union that conservatives seem to like and support.
In my state the state pension is calculated by your highest 5 years; so yeah if you can triple you salary via overtime it makes sense financially.
But ACAB
That is outrageous. Overtime shouldn’t affect pension at all.
I get that we all hate cops here, and believe me, I do, but why wouldn’t any labor count toward your retirement? That’s ridiculous.
Yup. All hours worked should be included in pension calculations. The problem is the scamming done by cops and their unions, and the inclusion of hours worked for entities other than the actual PD (ie: stores, markets, security, etc).
No cop should be able to use their uniform to work for a third party and have those hours count towards their publically-funded pension.
Should be base pay, for any job cop or not. Especially DB pensions. Overtime is your own money if you want to save it.
If she’s guilty of impropriety, retirement won’t save her. It’s not like “Welp, she retired, our hands our tied now,”
Yep, definitely. I’m also expecting that the next administration will go hard with law and order.
I don’t actually recognize this person, but if she’s sucking Trump’s dick she’s safe in any case. The headline about retirement is irrelevant.

A lot of this is because of the super shitty NYPD police union the PBA
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_Benevolent_Association_of_the_City_of_New_York
They have a history of being intolerant to women and LGBT people on the force. They use their power for exorbitant pay in many cases (like this one). Their head put his and the union’s endorsement for Trump. They give their members “PBA Cards” which are basically get out of jail free cards. And most recently they sued the mayor for putting in a bill that bans them from using steroids.
They’re like if you turned the Joe Rogan podcast into a police officer.
Had to explain to an acquaintance once that no, cops aren’t liberal just because they have a union. And that they’re like, the one group that probably shouldn’t have one.
My dude literally thought cops were all democrats because they were in a union. It was a real mouth agape moment
She’s cute af but holy shit this is egregious and deserves prison time
Ick
She’s loaded, too. Go for it bro
