After decades of the police and fire union blackmailing city politicians for vote endorsements and 'basic protection', it is time for San Jose to say "Enough!!" You may have been one of the highest paid police departments in the USA, but your poor job performance is well documented. I personally have seen several SJPD cops in expensive cruisers circle in West San Jose in the back of a public high school and sleep the night away with one cop listening to the police radio !! Is this the police protection West San Jose wants from its overpaid cops !? I don't think so !!
Especially with how dangerous East San Jose is.
Just a few weeks ago a SJPD officer came out and could barely do a police report and give me a police report number for an attempted car theft, after the criminals had inspected /cased the car 5 TIMES IN WILLOW GLEN !! This officer did not want to fingerprint anything, like the shoe horn of plastic the thieves pulled out of the glove box. 2 years of community college, lousy attitude, poor performance, and SJPD cops still expect to be paid, overpaid like fatcats after only 20 years,,, or even 30 years of lousy performance !!.
San Jose voters have spoken with a new mayor, like the old mayor, getting tough on SJPD for poor job performance !! A full pension and full disability for just being old lazy and fat and 20 years of not being in a shotout is no longer going to happen, hopefully in San Jose. Why? The city finally realizes it can not afford to treat x-firemen like Lords and Barons , who go out on full pension and full disability and buy 3 luxury homes on the same expensive golf course !!
All civil servants in California should, must be held to a much higher work standard, especially the DMV, Caltrans, and EDD !! OK, my funny, as these my be the least effective agencies in any State govt. in the entire US of A. !!
