I’m sorry about that. It’s unfortunate that all the cops and firefighters who are doing this should be ashamed, but aren’t. While the good cops who wouldn’t dream of it shouldn’t be, but are.
A similar sort of scam goes on out east. I remember reading an article here on FR about a doctor marveling at a man on the verge of retirement not claiming some sort of disability like nearly every other fellow officer had done. He was the exception that proved the rule, so to speak.
