on th news TV station subject...

Who really cares if Fox, Channel 7, et al do a 1-sided "hard-hitting FOX Undercover" segment on Name Tag allowances? I remembber watching them hype the hell out of this MAJOR STORY for 3 days and then the public's reaction was negligible. Anybody with a shred of common sense who watched this crap knows that if the words NAME TAG had been replaced with CLOTHING or EQUIPMENT, we'd never have heard one word about it! Unfortunately, these channels all cater to the lowest common denominator and rely on shrill hype to sell their product. This just proves AGAIN that these investigative "reporters" will always turn against public safety (police especially) when they have no real deceptions/frauds to "report" on!

If I remeber correctly, I believe they aired this "BREAKING NEWS STORY" aka CRAP during the November sweeps period in 2003. Don't ever forget, the public "pays your salary" and they "have a right to know how much you make and for what" and blah, blah, blah. UNBELIEVABLE!

The GLOBE :evil: is back at it today with another hard-hitting :roll: article on Police Officers in Boston earning significantly more than their counterparts throughout the country. Of course, there is no mention of the amount of hours worked to achieve these out-of-whack, unfair earnings - UNBELIEVABLE! Get ready, my friends: it's only just beginning of the insanity. Wait until all us cops start "cashing in" on all those "easy" details at the DNC this summer - we should hear words to the following: "What's the big deal, just a few protesters, right?" & "You cops should stop complaining and picketing - you guys all make $100,000 already!" & "It doesn't look that bad on TV!"

I'm sure our good friends at the Globe and Herald will be eager to print our earnings (once again neglecting to mention the loss of Summer vacation time with friends/family; 80-90 hour workweeks, dangerous & unpredictable conditions, etc.)
