  1. Isn’t it a shame that a city employee who risks his life every day for the community needs to crowd fund to cover living costs while they are injured?? Where are his benefits? It goes to show how little this state with the HIGHEST TAXES cares about their officers.

  2. Mike Rowe says:

    This is such a joke. Police and fire have a great package deal. There is no need for this. But what do I know. It’s not like my family was in law enforcement or anything.
