Sadly the pigs get rewarded for their bad behavior. I am sure the pigs love every minute of the overtime they are raking in as we complain about their tyrannical behavior. And doesnt include the free paid vacations they get after they murder one of us serfs. In the Phoenix metro area most cops start at $50,000 a year or $25/hr before benefits. When you throw in over time junior weenie pigs are getting paid $37 and hour to spy on us at these protests. Many cops easily make over $100,000 before overtime. azcentral/story/news/local/phoenix/2014/12/21/phoenix-police-shooting-protests-cost-phoenix/20744979/ Police-shooting protests cost Phoenix more than $100,000 The police overtime costs associated with monitoring recent protests exceeds other big-ticket events in 2014. Megan Cassidy, The Republic | azcentral 6:48 a.m. MST December 22, 2014 Nearly three weeks after an unarmed Black man was killed by a White Phoenix police officer, dozens of protesters continue to snake through the streets of Phoenix, demanding justice for a shooting they say amounts to police brutality. Each demonstration also draws secondary crowd, a silent police presence that shadows but rarely engages the protesters. The protests have remained non-violent, with no arrests or property damage. But they have not come without a price: additional overtime for officers. As of last week, overtime costs associated with policing protests related to the shooting of Rumain Brisbon have exceeded$116,000, according to Phoenix police. The figure does not include costs that may have been incurred Saturday afternoon, when about 75 demonstrators briefly marched down the light-rail tracks in downtown Phoenix and staged a die-in near Maricopa County Superior Court. The tally still exceeds the price of other big-ticket overtime events from this year, including surveillance during a visit by Vice President Joe Biden, the P.F. Changs Rock n Roll Arizona Marathon and the funeral in March for Phoenix police Officer John Hobbs, who died in the line of duty. Other 2014 events •Funeral for Phoenix police Officer John Hobbs: $10,705. •P.F. Changs Rock n Roll Arizona Marathon and 1/2 Marathon: $53,779. •Dignitary protection:$219,206, including $89,566 for visit from Vice President Joe Biden. Earlier protests •Protests associated with anti-immigration measure Senate Bill 1070: $123,266 in fiscal year 2010-11, $40,308 in fiscal year 2011-12. •Protests associated with the anti-corporate Occupy Phoenix movement: $402,496 in fiscal year 2011-12, $6,955 in fiscal year 2012-13.
