It's not Bargaining, it's called begging. Officers with these city tactics will leave the city.

[@jasonbrand5762]

ITS THAT BAD 👀

[@professorcarlosjunior2588]

They think the problem is money. Hahahaha

[@ElaineHardy-ou6ir]

The problem is the focus on *officer accountability*.

[@MelaPelas210]

After taxes is it really 15,000?… 😂

[@simonblanco4864]

Begging thru the union to get paid. This should be an automatic from the city. The city should pay the officers without begging.

[@Follower-dc5se]

I wonder what they’re doing to keep their Officers? If they can’t keep Officer they’re still in the same predicament… I’ve also seen and heard from the city their standards have been significantly lowered 👀

[@jdreign7210]

probably nothing. theres rarely an attempt to keep people beyond18-24 months

[@denisconor648]

Teach them the constitution.

[@ElaineHardy-ou6ir]

And accountability.

[@plikeputin9149]

Do cadets stay in dorms or at their own home?

[@matthewsager925]

There is no on-site housing.
