CHICAGO (CBS) — Contract demands by Chicago police officers include much higher pay and something you might not have imagined.

Chicago police are reportedly proposing in negotiations that their pay increase by 12 percent over two years.

The union also wants officers to get extra money because they are required to live in the city.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the union is proposing a residency stipend of $3,000 per officer. ...

Also want to pay less for health insurance and reach top pay scale in 20 years rather than the current 25.

Fair deal and done....just arrest your dorkface/cretin/felon major and put him away where he can never be found.

We’ll gladly look the other way.

This reminds me of the geniuses in the Chelsea MA police union who put a flyer that looked like a parking ticket on windshields all over town.

It said they deserved a raise because Chelsea had such a high crime rate.

You want a pay raise?

Earn a pay raise.

Say reduce the murder rate to one a day?

I would want a pay raise too if I had to work in the Murder Capital of the United States.

They should just stage a walk-out, What Difference Does It Make!

Wanting more and getting more are two different things. I would grant pay rasies, based on there being a budget surplus. The police could expidite their pay increase by investigating and prosicuting improper use of public funds.

I haven’t dared ask for a raise in 4 years.

I’d be fired.

The cops should be too.

Fire them all. Start from scratch. The Chicago police dept is a big part of the reason that Chicago is more lawless than Helmand province.

Whattaya wanna bet their pensions are pretty cushy as well?

Paying for these union pensions will bankrupt these cities, and it’s already starting to happen.

Give them at 50% raise - retroactive to 1/1/12.

Turn Chicago into another Detroit - only faster.

It is starting to look like we need civilian vigilance committees rather than armed civil servants.

And they shouldn't have to be bothered with 911 calls, either.

Wait. They already did that.

The police in Chicago are not responsible for the crime rate there - the people are. They elect leftist scum, and leftists manage the system there like they do everywhere else.

We have to go back to the original founding concept that not everyone gets to vote or we will continue to swirl down the drain.

If the police have no control over the crime rate, why have a police force in the first place?
