Gov workers, can’t fire them.

That’s why bad cops who do bad stuff remain on duty.

Gov privilege.

Might not be enough money in NYC’s coffers after this riot and businesses shut down and no sales tax or city income tax money coming in.

can you live in the NYC area on 100,000?

Don’t know why anyone wants to fight fires or be cop in NYC

This will increase the flight of the wealthy out of the city.

De B and Gov Coma will cry for federal bailout. Schumer will blame trump for the decline of NY

Given what we’ve seen the last week - bankruptcy promises to be a real party in NY City.

This as New York’s tax base is rapidly shrinking and new costs are being piled on to it.

Sergeants are of higher rank and pay than lieutenants? Isn’t that backward?

yeah in Cal we have COs making 250,000 a year from OT in prison OT is awarded by seniority, which means the highest paid make the time and half. They have been encouraged to hire part-timers and more COs at regular time, but they haven’t after decades. And the powerful union loves the system

More people than that. Its been happening for a good five years now. Between COVID and this insanity, people will be fleeing in droves.

It will be a playground for the well off in high security compounds and neighborhoods.

Found in my mailbox .

The folks who are getting the free stuff don’t like
The folks who are paying for the free stuff, because
The folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer
afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

And the folks who are paying for the free stuff
Want the free stuff to stop.

And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more Free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now, here come the good part....

The people who are forcing the people to pay

For the free stuff, have told the people who are RECEIVING
The free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the
Free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So.. The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the Free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the Free stuff .

in the Army there are 9 pay grades...enlisted men E-1 to E-9.. Officers..O-1 to O-9

E-5 is a Buck Sargent

O-1 and O-2 are 2nd lieutenants and 1st Louies..the lowest you can be as an Officer...

‘FOR SALE: Manhattan Penthouse. $25,000.000.00. Make offer, any offer or will trade for an AR-15 and ammo.”

That has happened before...

“King Richard: A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!

Catesby: Withdraw, my lord: I’ll help you to a horse.

King Richard: Slave! I have set my life upon a caste,
And I will stand the hazard of the die,
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain instead of him.
A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

Kind of went downhill after that for the King...

We are talking here about police departments, where anyone, we assume would be a patrol officer first, then advance to sergeant, then to lieutenant. There are not enlisted men and then separate officer corps. So, in a police department, we would assume that a lieutenant always outranks a sergeant and has a higher pay grade, wouldn’t we? It was that way in Hayward, CA where I grew up.

Both of you are correct. .

Domestic police/sheriff departments have lieutenants ranking higher than sergeants.

Been in both places!
