This is a work around for defunding the police without actually defunding the police.
They should all walk of the job and just let chaos reign.

The typical Massachusetts State Trooper makes $150K-$200K a year (with OT). IIRC their pensions are calculated on their *gross* income...not their base salary.IOW these troopers will probably wind up with $100K/yr pensions...and they're free of state tax.

Can never forget that Massachusetts is the state that repeatedly reelected Ted Kennedy. On one hand those troopers are government workers in that state but it of course would be wrong to generalize. Nevertheless would be reluctant to hire these guys as cops if they move to Texas, Oklahoma or Florida.

Trained mindfulness counseling replacement state social workers are on the way.

Try to plan your emergency in advance. Just a tip.

which took troopers from specialty units that investigate homicides, terrorism, computer crimes, arsons, gangs, narcotics, and human trafficking, and returned them to uniformed patrol.We are less safe, that's what government is doing to the population. No wonder private sales of guns is way up.

"the unprecedented moves which took troopers from specialty units that investigate homicides, terrorism, computer crimes, arsons, gangs, narcotics, and human trafficking, and returned them to uniformed patrol."
I would bet a good percentage of the resignations are by Detectives and other undercover who are not happy about going back on patrol. They did the extra work to get a gold badge or assigned to clandestine duties. Any cops here that can verify my supposition?

Have politicians in the US government, including congressional members, been MANDATED to get the m-RNA injections yet??
If not, why not????

The typical Massachusetts State Trooper makes $150K-$200K a year (with OT). Guess I was in the wrong profession... Do you have any links to back this up?

It actually varies somewhat but many of them do make serious money. I think Illinois is another state where the state police make several times more than your average police officer or trooper in most other states.

Thanks for the link... that is crazy.

The immediate staff shortages are just the tip of the iceberg.
Other cops eligible for retirement will bail quickly as their workload gets heavier.
Still other cops will get the resumes out there for the warmer climate move they had been debating for a while...
Tick, tick, tick....
That applies to other vax-mandated professions as well....

Don't know were you're from but there's a great talk show host in Boston,Howie Carr (a huge Trump supporter),who loves to point out the routine corruption in Massachusetts government. He often talks about the salaries of State Troopers and the corruption in that department. That's were I get those figures.
