It sounds nince, but I’m looking at it as the person paying the bill.

The two officers and their family paid a higher price.

[kearnyirish2]

No doubt; they had arrangements in their contracts for that. I live in a neighboring state with a huge number of cops who are paid more than $100K annually; a friend retired after working 25 years - at 46 years old.

I pay for cops, and I won’t get a posthumous raise to increase the death benefit to my family if I die at my desk.

So do US troopers killed in the field and rarely, if ever, are there posthumous promotions to increase their benefits.

Stop trying to smash down any opposition to this vile practice of screwing over the taxpayers through emoting about a “higher price”.

[GreaterSwiss]

And there is a collection for their families in the millions. This is wrong. Cops already get so many benefits, they don’t need another paid for by the taxpayers that aren’t earned

[wideawake]

I'm paying the bill for these promotions directly, since I pay taxes in NYC.

I'd much rather help support these police officers' families than pay to support the bums, the thugs and all the other parasites that these officers died to protect me from.

But support those parasites I do, thanks to the antisocial "social programs" the city funds. I hope every dollar that accrues to those pensions comes out of some bogus pro-crime scam.
