Then they can say "Hey, I'm off the clock, I don't have to get involved." Seems they are pretty close to that.Milwaukeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830345164697669429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-20522363142483019202011-04-20T10:51:37.294-04:002011-04-20T10:51:37.294-04:00How are police (and other public employee) unions ...How are police (and other public employee) unions not protection rackets fighting over turf, perks and spoils?

I think, especially in that Milwaukee case, that the complaining unionistas should immediately become eligible for firing on grounds of failure to execute their responsibilities.bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273205704118287417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-77677469612357127582011-04-20T09:43:53.698-04:002011-04-20T09:43:53.698-04:00Reminiscent of the the Boy Scout who was sued for ...Reminiscent of the the Boy Scout who was sued for cleaning up a trail for a project. That was union work. A softball coach got in trouble in Milwaukee last summer for mowing the field where his team played. He had to mow it 3 times, it was so long, and found numerous objects which could have injured his players. But that was union work, and they were going to get around to it. Absolutely ridiculous.Milwaukeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14830345164697669429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-47173546734045887312011-04-20T09:15:45.893-04:002011-04-20T09:15:45.893-04:00I'm the guy that passed this on to the good Pr...I'm the guy that passed this on to the good Professor. I have been following this for a couple of days .....find the link to the story in the Scranton paper and check out the comments ....The unions are taking a beating on this one ....idiots .....they are trying to convince us that the Chief of Police is not a real cop and most of the folks who are commenting are saying well ....
