You guys ruined my day....

Dude, get some therapy for your issues with women!

You guys should have looked up before taking care of business. Too bad they are trying to neuter you guys. It's a shame, I thought it would never happen to Metro Dade.

Linda O'Brainless you are a shill, to come out and say what you said about those officers is a shame. Without truly reviewing the whole thing, those guys are going to be made an example because of an assh*le street thug. I am ashamed to consider you a fellow LEO, you should have come out and said you would look into the matter or the matter is being reviewed and left it at that. Your looking at what was on video, you didn’t see everything those officers saw while in the chase, the fear in peoples faces as those officers drove by the civilians. Lets all worry about the feelings of a street thug. You should be stripped of your duties because I am sure the men under you have no confidence in you.

I feel for those men and women who have to serve under you, a leader with no back bone.

LJA

Lets put aside all the B.S. and work together on this. It effects us all.

There are major efforts in the Florida Legislature to scuttle benefits in the Florida Retirement System and the Municipal Police Retirement Systems. The Florida PBA has spent the majority of the time in Tallahassee lobbying against these measures, but a number of studies, bills, and reports have been authorized that require us to take a more aggressive approach.

Among the proposals being discussed:

State Retirement At Risk

-Reducing the Special Risk Class in FRS back to the original membership of Law Enforcement Officers, Correctional Officers, and Firefighters. Removing Correctional Probation Officers.
-Reducing the 3% Accrual Rates for Special Risk.
-Increasing the high 5 years to the highest 8 years.
-Capping your retirement payment at 70% not the current 100%.
-Increasing Special Risk normal retirement age to age 60 or 30 years of service.
-Implementing an employee contribution for retirement of 1% of salary.
Municipal Retirement At Risk

-Capping your retirement payment at 70% not the current 100%.
-Changes the 185 premium tax law so extra money does not have to be spent on extra benefits.
-Increasing normal retirement age to age 60 or 30 years of service.
-Majority of members on the Board of Trustees could not be active or retired pension plan members.
There are a number of bills that enact some of these proposals, but the worst one of all is HB 1543 by Representative Juan Zapata. His bill purges Correctional Probation Officers from the Special Risk Class, reduces the 3% accrual rate, raises the age limit to 60 and years of 30 years of service for both local and state officers, removes 185 extra benefits requirement from law, and caps the percentage of retirement at 70% for everyone.

You can do something about it.
