Chief confirms Ponchatoula Police Department on strike Friday 

If they have just started their career as police officers, they’re making closer to 40,000 which is still a living wage, especially considering all the overtime and all of that that they get in benefits and incentives 50,000 is lowballing it because at 10 years they’re making 60,000+ bonuses and incentives the reality is these people have become excessively greedy that town is not so big that they should justify $70,000 salaries it makes more sense to dissolve the department and invest those funds elsewhere

Greed knows no bounds

People don't "protect and serve" for free or little pay, nor should they.

It's a town of 7500 people.

No one 😂. It's a small town and the sheriff took over very shortly afterwards

How does it feel to go through life with half your brain rotted away by conspiracy theories?

@@akaJughead interesting comment from someone who runs with the handle "jughead". Now I guess juggy I'm supposed to respond with a snaide remark so you can babble some more. Instead I'll just laugh at your total loss of real life awareness and move on. Have a great day

funny coming from a paid Trump deeksukka

Yeah, you know when people start saying 'msm'...​@@akaJughead

Lmao you think that guy was paid for the 20 second interview? 🤣🤣🤣

That’s absolute bs. Simply sporting the name police on your vest is a big target on you. This job is dangerous no matter where you are. I challenge you to come do it. Then tell me how much real work you don’t do.

​@@100tghost7the average LEO never fires his service pistol once in the line of duty during his entire career.

@@J0HN_3_16 what about all the officers that weren’t able to get a shot off? The ones that were ambushed, the ones that were run over, the ones that were t boned? Just because they didn’t fire their guns doesn’t mean they were never in danger. Your argument is flawed.

@@100tghost7 I am afraid you have been watching top many movies. LEOs wait to engage suspects until they have a numerical advantage. In 2022 only 118 LEOs died while on duty in 2022, primarily in auto accidents. There are almost one million LEOs in America. A LEO has about a 1 in 10,000 chance of dying from all causes. Your chance of being struck by lightning during your lifetime is approximately 1 in 15,000.

@@100tghost7 LEOs almost always wait until they have both a numerical advantage and a firepower advantage before assaulting citizens. There are almost one million LEOs in America. In 2022 118 LEOs died on duty, the majority in car accidents. That works out to almost one officer death from all causes per 10,000 officers. Your chance of being struck by lightning in your lifetime is 1 in 15,000.
