I imagine this has happened before but it almost seems precedent setting.

[Mr. K]

Did he also order the money to pay them to magically appear?

“Judge halts plan to lay off North Las Vegas police officers”

Why have elected officials anymore? Dictators in robes are SO much simpler.

It's about time we start defunding activist courts...

[SF_Redux]

so what is the next crowd stirring group to get axed?

[tflabo]

DemoRats, Unions and Judges——always an unholy ‘menage a trois’!

[Chode]

can't find 40 less critical people in the social services dept i guess... gotta keep the cattle happy

Las Vegas Sun is one of the news papers who sell their articles into the hell called Righthaven. FR had a tiff with them before. Is it wise to show anything from Las Vegas Sun on FR? (Not picking on you redreno — I would have thought the software for copyright rule enforcement would catch this.)

Police Officers Association President Mike Yarter said today the judge’s decision is in the best interest of the city. “I think it’s not only great for the officers and their families but for citizens of North Las Vegas who pay for these officers,” he said.

I see.

So if this activist judge's decision is so great for the citizens of North Las Vegas, why don't they hire a few hundred MORE police union officers?

Ecstasy should ensue...

Law Enforcement associations that support Senator Reid:

•Las Vegas Police Managers and Supervisors Association •Las Vegas Police Protective Association Civilian Employees •Las Vegas Police Protective Association Metro •Henderson Police Officers Association •Nevada Association of Public Safety Officers •North Las Vegas Police Officers Association •Peace Officers Research Association of Nevada •Southern Nevada Conference of Police and Sheriffs •State Lodge of Nevada Fraternal Order of Police

Voting for the Nevada alpha Rat to stay in big cheese DC doesn't much help the lesser desert Rats wanting their slice of the wedge.

No problemo - let ‘em work for free.

Next case.

[Logical me]

Just who runs the City, the damn judge or the City Government? The case should have been thrown out. After the officers were laid off then the suit could be filed.

“After layoff notifications were made in late June, the union posted signs around the city warning citizens that officers could no longer guarantee their safety.”
If the judge’s ruling stands and no cops are laid off the judge has just usurped the legislative body’s function. Also, if the ruling stands, the first victim of a violent crime should file a law suit against the police union and it’s leadership because their “guarantee” failed.

[mockingbyrd]

Keep them on the force. Don’t pay them. If they complain, tell them to take it up with the judge.

[NoLibZone]

Use Police Officers Association accounts to pay them during the 90 day hold.
