Does it say anywhere in that Oath , that they Must disregard that Oath if a politicians tells them to?

I could be wrong, but I don’t think their Oath pledges any Allegiance to the government or politicians.


Also wondering about chain of command. Chief of police gives marching orders? If a chief considers a mayor's order illegal or against his oath it should end right there, no? If the chief gets fired wrongfully does he take it to court with union support?

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.

This is inflation
