NYPD Police Union will never support Rudy...........

"The New York City Patrolman's Benevolent Association could never support Rudy Giuliani for any elected office," PBA President Patrick Lynch told The Post.

Lynch also claimed that "Rudy Giuliani has no real credentials as a terrorism fighter."

Lynch said cops haven't forgotten.

"Today," Lynch went on, "there are simply not enough NYPD police officers to keep this city safe, and it is Giuliani's fault."

I live in the burbs and my local police dept has hired quite a few new cops with a 1yr or more on the job.The starting academy salary is now 24k add in commuting tolls, gas, city taxes, they have to buy their own uniforms, it isn't much some even qualify for food stamps. NYPD is bleeding because they can't get enough cops or keep them, mostly because of Guiliani's reign. The icing on the cake now is cops who were on active military duty must now reimburse the city all of the overages in salary they got. So much for doing ones duty when called up. They have 5 yrs to repay it in total and they give up 10% of their paycheck now.
