"As a result, the Justice Department decided the most worthy cities were
those that faced serious budgetary problems
and those that have
relatively high crime rates. It was still unclear Tuesday whether Miami police would use the $11
million grant to hire new recruits, retain current officers, or a mix
of both. 'This is going to assist our department in hiring or
retaining at least 30 to 35 police officers on a yearly basis for the
next three years,' Timoney said. The new grant provides funding for
salaries, equipment, cars, and training for three years."



This federal money basically rewards the City for mismanaging our taxpayer money. The City will use it to plug the budget and continue to pay astronomical salaries and pensions. If you total up the Police department compensations, you get $140,876,227. The average is a little under $94,000. That should at least cover the cost of some respect and decency towards our law-abiding residents. Save the attitude for real criminals.

Having a budget shortfall is understandable. Having a high crime rate is unforgivable.

The cop on the left is a mutant (i.e: not human) high on crack and with a badge. Parking ticket bum from hell. Beware!

It makes sense. While public Arts funding is getting slashed the police should be souped up. All the paint brushes and trumpets will be replaced with AK-47s, the following article explains: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-news/story/1170023.html

I wish I could get a raise for failing horribly at my job...

11 million for 35 officers for 3 years? Do the math. that's $105,000 per year per officer.

Are you $#&$@&%@ing kidding me? Outrage people, that's what we're missing.

Most of these guys are uneducated, barely literate, mouth breathers. And worse yet, the higher ups are somewhat intelligent, but generally criminals.

It sure does pay to be a loser, Their motto should be "Screw the little guy". Makes me want to move to New Zealand, or even New Jersey.
