I'd say they need some lowyers.


That's not what I got when I read the entire article.

First it's Yahoo News, and the headline does not match the content. Surprise.

Quote
“Apparently, the pension section is only taking a certain amount of people per day and I think they are backed up till late July, early August,” one officer said. “That’s why you don’t see like 100 a day, because they are only doing like 35 to 40 a day, by appointment.”

The department is not turning down applications from people retiring in the next 30 days, but has told other officers to wait another month before applying, due to the increased demand.


So, by reading the article we see that the NYPD UNION is not "preventing" retirements, they have just limited the number per day.

I wonder how motivated the union is to help them retire, knowing they will be losing dues-paying members.

Wag more, bark less.

The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed.

The men who wrote the Second Amendment didn't just finish a hunting trip, they just finished liberating a nation.
