Thanks.

Sorry, no pity here, if you want to go work for an employer that doesn't care about how you act or perform your job, then go... because we don't want you here.

If I told my boss I wanted a 33.9% raise on the condition that I wouldn't be held accountable if I did something wrong, I'd be laughed out of my job.

Common sense seems to have eluded some people.

Which body orifice did you pull that figure out from PackedRatt?

Take a look at the numbers and you'll see that the magic ** 90 THOUSAND DOLLAR ** number just doesn't show up.

I've worked here for twenty years, and even with several HUNDRED hours of overtime in a year don't make 90 grand.

Are you saying the city's offer doesn't say that?(and think, that doesn't include overtime, I'm a network engineer and I don't make that much and I don't get overtime, just to give you some perspective).

Let me ask, though, if that's not enough to convince you and you fellow officers to accept the 29 accountability recommendations, is there anything that would?

Can you imagine other civil servants acting like this? Firemen, judges ("I don't have to explain why he's guilty!"), postal workers, hell even garbage men are more accountable for their actions. When is the last time a city rioted because of a sanitation worker abusing authority?

Oh, and give us back our video cams so we can keep taping you when you cross the line, k?

Cry me a fucking river, SPD. The misconduct of your officers is widely reported and yet few of the offending officers are ever disciplined.

You want to make better money? Grow the fuck up and start acting like professionals. I have NO sympathy for whiny police officers on this issue. Real accountability is needed, and needed now.
