Scot Peterson, disgraced Parkland school cop, starts getting $8,702-a-month pension
Here is a great example of the looter mentality, never mind the guy was useless as a cop, but consider that military people will get an average of maybe 2500 a month at 20 years and while this guy did 33 years, he gets a whole lot more. Now multiply this by thousands of people and then extrapolate it to a really large state, and you can see why states are in the hole billions on retirements. I mean, I get 1750 a month after 20 years active duty and 10 reserves (you have to do 10 reserve years where you dont have to do anything) and I started at 1395.00. The idea a retirement pension needs to replace your salary is not sustainable and the governments have to wake up to this. The problem is, the lobbys are so powerful and they align to whoever will keep the gravuy train running. Grapefruit, anyone?
Peterson may have made the spur-of-the-moment choice that retirement was better than risking his life to defend the helpless. Rewarding such a decision is patently inequitable.
I hope all retirement programs are scrapped, and then this situation would never come up in the first place.
The Retirement Systems of Alabama sends this me dino age 71 retired corrections officer a full pension of $900 less than that stated $2,500 a month for military retirees. Also receiving money from the SS, doing some security guard work despite limping around and staying out of debt was how I got by until I inherited a sizable amount of money plus stocks and bonds
That's how me a scared dino was able to buy a 9mm carbine with a custom-made AR-15 frame and two 30 round clips when the projected to win The Evil Hag POTUS candidate said , "I dream of open borders." I also used a check to fully pay for a one-year-old used car needed by a disabled son and I still have plenty more stashed away with also more coming in from time to time.. .
When the inheritance money first came rolling in from diverse sources, me dino also bought a CD and played this song a lot in my car for the first month or so~

While the Royal Obamanation reigned over his regime years ago, I was watching The Five on Fox when that old lib who wore colorful suspenders was included.
He shrugged when asked about the rocketing national debt and spoke on like it was nothing.
