read the comments of Commissioner Posey.......i dont think its right that Law Enforcement employees get a raise while other county employees dont.
Well Commissioner you are probably right, maybe its not right. ...But let me see, Hey one of you guys go and dig that hole....or....hey one of you guys go to that house where the man has just beat the crap out of his wife..and now has the pistol pointed at his head...and talk him into putting it down and not killing his whole family.....for $14.00 dollars an hour and at 4 am in the morning when you are so damn tired you can hardly keep your eyes open because your out on patrol protecting the property of the ones that tell you you dont need to make anymore money than you do....while your family is is at home without you....and you better not screw nothin up when you get there.....oh and if somethin does happens and he points the gun at you....try to live the rest of your life and not have it creep into your head at least once a day that you had to kill someone's husband or father or son in order to save their lives or the lives of others.
Ok i know.....its the job we have chosen to do......i didnt get into this line of work for the money.....ive heard all the cliches.
