I have no problem with good police and firemen getting a decent pension. First responders should also be paid more than a clerk who was in charge of fish hatcheries for 35 years. But what we need to address are police who are acting out of control now that these gun laws have been passed that are clearly unconstitutional.
Certain cops feel empowered to abuse their citizens and the public they are supposed to serve.
Right. When one of these guys moves into an area, the public is taking in a monster without knowing it. And the department that re-hired him knew it when they employed him! Again, government (fed,state,local) people not doing their jobs of looking out for the public. A HUGE sweeping out is in order..
Maybe an emotionally unstable goon like this cop should not have access to a gun or a badge.
