Ah, I guess I mis-heard the report. Thanks for the clarification. | |||

If I understood the story on Fox the officers are quitting the riot team, not the force. There are around 350 officers that volunteer for riot team. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Do LEO's typically get additional hazard pay for riot duty? (on top of the OT they would earn) | |||

hello darkness my old friend |
Illegal really doesn't matter anymore. Plenty of things out there are illegal and no one is doing anything about them. Walk off the job and see what happens. Admin ain't gonna come out of their high back leather chairs and get anybody. | |||

I'll make you a friendly five dollar wager that if the Chicago coppers walk off the job The Mutant would do everything she could, spend every taxpayer dollar to fire them. She hates cops but especially hates the Union President and is doing everything she can to get rid of him. She epitomizes what is wrong with America. | |||

What is every single Chicago LEO walked off the job? What would she do then? | |||

Easy! Chicago would celebrate the new holiday Juneteenth by rioting, burning neighborhood drug stores, looting Targets, iPhones stores, and go for a new record for weekend killings. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Maybe in union states. Our guys don’t even get overtime most of the time. Federal guideline is 171 hours in a 28 day cycle before OT for police. Work 10 x 12 hour days in a row and then have a break to cool off…no overtime unless you hit that magical 171. We were talking about the quitting the riot squad thing yesterday. Our consensus was they would try to fire us. Here you are voluntold, and the “pulls” happen frequently. Nothing like what some of the cities to the west have dealt with though. I don’t know if they would succeed in firing, we do have civil service protection, but I think they’d try. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

hello darkness my old friend |
I have never heard of hazard pay for us LEO's anywhere. | |||
|
hello darkness my old friend |
Yeah that is a scary possibility of being fired but so is defending yourself and then being charged with a crime to appease the democrat voting base. | |||

Walk off the job? Why would we do that?!? All we have to do is what we're required to do. Answer radio, drive to job in a safe manner, write paper or code the job out, leave. Lather, rinse, repeat until check-off. Didn't write any tickets? No sir, didn't see anyone violate traffic laws! Don't think for a second that it's not being done as we speak. It's not being lazy, it's self preservation in some of these cities. They have handcuffed and hobbled Law Enforcement in places like New York, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle... Not only that, but if officers do something that "looks bad", the people in charge (mayor, chief/superintendent, city council, media...) want to hang the officer from the highest tree. Hey, no contact with the public lessens my officers chances of getting a complaint filed against them! In the end, who actually suffers? The decent people in that city! Two days ago, Chicago had a whole family... A whole family... that was robbed at gunpoint on the Mag Mile. That's not sad, that's fucking pathetic. Not the mayor, who has more armed guards around her, her wife, and her house than most people on here have police in their towns. https://www.chicagocontrarian....os-summer-of-anarchy (About the 7th or 8th paragraph down) I've posted on here a few times on places to come to, places to eat here in Chicago. I can't, in good faith, do that anymore. Why would I subject you to being a victim in a city (and state) that makes it very hard to have the ability to protect yourself? Things may be bad here in Chicago, but IT AINT PORTLAND OR SEATTLE! We haven't been in a constant battle with rioters for over a year. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

It's all a ploy by the left to eliminate local and state cops and institute a federal police force. It must be stopped. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

At work all the TV's are tuned into CNN. All I've seen this week is insurection, insurection, insurection. Look at these brave Capitol Police dealing with the riotous thugs, how brave, how beautiful. We need to hunt every one of these treasonous bastards down and ship them up the river. Hey CNN, remember, the last 13 months of rioting? The 30 people killed; the billions of damages; the cops beaten, maced, lasered; the people getting attacked for the crime of eating dinner while being white? I just want to rip one of our TVs down and scream at the hypocrites. Zero people were killed by the idiots on 1/6, not a single life lost. A few million in damages were caused, but that's less than a Tuesday night during the George Floyd Memorial Riots. You laser focus on a two hour temper tandrum, but ignore a year straight of rioting, death, and destruction. For anyone without their heads stuck in the sand the hypocrisy is obvious. Where was your worship for the police getting their asses kicked every night for a year by these rioters? Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||
