Its to bad a cop is going to have to die before they see that they need a new system.

And if you belive that I got a bridge I can sell ya!!! PLEEEZE stop playing the fear card. Being a cop is dangerous. So is driving a truck. The number of deaths per 100,000 are comporable. Yeah the radio system is antiquated, yes it would be nice to have a new one and it would be nice if I could go to bed as late as I want and eat ice cream when ever I wanted, etc...etc... If the job is too risky then they could always drive a truck. Oh yeah, then we would hear the whining start all over again.
It's the money honey.
If the cops give back some of their perks and forgo pay raises then the tax paying, hard working, good people of Middlebury CT would gladly support this Cadillac on their beer budget.
It's sad that it has come to this.... Fear has no place in this debate. No one has died since the system was installed, because the system was installed, circa 1973; No one will!!
