Being 100% against pensions paid with tax dollars (taxation is theft, people!) makes me a bit less sympathetic than the rest of the commenters,, it seems.

Most departments do not take out social security of police and fire checks. So the retirement pension is paid through tax dollars. Take it up w/ your city/state. He has nothing to do w/ that.

Point is, anything paid by theft is paid by theft. You can like it or you don't have to. I don't.

I understand that, but as a former cop, we don't have the opportunity or control over how it is paid. Either you have cops and fireman or you don't. Take it up with the city/county or let people break into your house and burn it down. Then where are you after that?
