Pittsburgh, PA:
Am I missing something? Is there a voluntary police department? Don't the taxes pay for the police force?
Where does all of the money from drug busts go? And those tickets?
I just saw on the news (last month), that the local police found 2.5 million dollars in drug CASH, at an apartment, and they said it would go toward improving the police department and associated doings.
What is this money for that they call us on the phone and beg for a donation? Their fraternal fund, so they can have Christmas parties? I belong to a union too, but don't ask for money. We get what we earn, and there isn't enough for retirement or other expenses, we have to "eat it ourselves".
I just had a similar phone call 2 days ago, from the narcotics department. They wanted donations too. Surely they drug money from busts... ...right?
One guy who called, in November, said 'F-U' to my wife and hung the phone up, after she refused to donate. She told him 3 time, "no".
