-- NYPD PBA president Pat Lynch he's rolling out radio ads -- that say in total management is penalizing cops were just doing that jobs not just business.
New York city police officers routinely deal with dangerous and stressful situations.
It's part of the job and we except that.
You may be surprised to learn that more stress -- put on police sources by NYPD management.
And by criminals you but it riots yep administrators put more pressure on the new -- cults and drug dealers motors and other violent criminals this is the same story playing out all across America actually.
Unions vs the city.
All right full in new York city police detectives and our favorite guest of -- he is here.
Does this morning.
Now look about you know what this is all about.
This is the cost desperately trying to keep hold of the pensions which -- -- -- -- promised the using all kinds of negotiating tactics lay off Al pensions especially you manages -- more dangerous to us and the criminal so ago.
-- it wrong.
But let me tell you what this is about what -- about we had a big -- -- ticket scandal.
Years ago used to try to -- to give you put in his box that was metal locked on the on the preaching desk.
You go and if you have a friend -- family of take that taken out this was a natural -- this is was the way the world -- mr.
-- got to Europe ticket.
But I would say don't -- out take care of it but this was -- -- happened -- you're right -- was a right.
They change policy -- indicted some at a police officers for the taken scandal but what's happening now is the cops and are trying to do their jobs out -- If they -- in the ticket -- -- wrong thing.
And the ticket is thrown out of court they've -- vacation days they get internal affairs sit and if they should be worrying about other things they've now tightened up with technology when you get a ticket.
You can't get the ticket taking care that's -- but you've got tough making 50000 dollars a year rob you have to be judges and juries and if they make one wrong move their big goal -- -- jail.
This is why probably took top job it's a professional job you pay them professional you don't paid a professional to be -- to pay a fireman every diversified gaming name is a fire -- -- -- -- is that they didn't take it always -- confront you about traveling from the issue.
Nobody actually want to religious right on top of this -- this whole issue is about the -- getting vacation days -- no -- not or -- right now.
No it's not what's on the threat via.
Is the pensions promised to police offices holding -- that's what we'll have changed of the new guys coming not change the look make it 25 years it's that it wanted you have to change once you have if you made a promise -- these cops -- -- you can have twenty year retirement.
As far as the disability pensions let's be real tough -- starting time fractured skull all kinds of -- -- shot.
I didn't get a disability pension -- left enabling -- problem is we got what really we've got cable.
You gotta give them the pension if you're not as yet what what you don't get -- love is gonna think about that -- you're coming from but the idea that somehow.
Management is more dangerous -- the cop.
Then the -- -- cops got shot the other day on the right this is something like that is disingenuous well inventory well if you if you take a cop that's out there in the guy's face in every day he's going out his life.
Is on the line every day you pay them minimal 50000 dollars a year but just -- to be a professional.
Now you take his.
And his whole identity -- like a little child is no you didn't feel like you pick it right you'll -- and -- vacation and you can't -- that respect for that opt out yet.
If you take that away from you don't have bill put a -- -- Boy Scouts outfit and everybody life.
Up copper supposed to be a professional person that's gonna make that life and death.
Judgment and we depend on what the what branching out and you depend on that topic on -- -- and all wanted to as a model real angry about this because I know -- little.
I've got to point out from view it's all across America in job towns all across America.
Towns and cities all broke and -- looking to save money and then look into law enforcement police offices teaches them look at all of those social service -- and law enforcement.
Come on give back.
Back a little we cannot afford to pay the pension.
Los Angeles then you know -- you -- that you -- -- cut back.
On the disability pensions you stop rejected them make sure person that this the contributing whatever it is that it's a big difference I don't agree with that -- union doesn't agree Bob Maloney of someone's really disabled and should get a pension disabled but it did not they shouldn't get you got guys who retired but what do you -- veteran Jim -- -- 350 I don't -- one cop.
We become Obama showed Xia middle Kamal fox -- fox -- let -- -- He broke his little shooting finger he but president 350 -- he's got to be left a job but because I'm sure there's little doubt we've got a permit even at these at -- -- isn't a bad things that -- So why.
Limits on that in my idea all I know it's -- -- it would it would do no wrong on this one you've got cops I love the New York City put out of every cop out this.
They were -- they try to do their job my point is you're right the pensions have to be not buckle down they do we don't have the money and you're right.
Well I don't I'd really like the enthusiasm in the emotion that you wrote to the table.
-- but I -- gets away everybody wanted cops to be professional but -- I feel like children that can't do that very articulate appointment I think and we thank you for about Google I'd love your show few -- -- yes I want.
-- let -- do what every morning every morning it's.
He kept behind the morn I always what do I brush my feet do you.
The top that's the first I've ever -- that all the people do a lot of things markets -- -- thank you look at you you're welcome.
