Overtime

What do police and nurses have in common?   Overtime.  It is rumored that most of the tickets that are given are written at the end of shift.  What a scandal, but Im not surprised ..... they are people after all and like the rest of us are affected by the bad economy, and wish for things.   So how do the police officers in El Paso fair in this overtime scheme?   For this we will go to a live interview with the Chief Cop.

Officer Greg Allen do you deny that the EPPD is active in any kind of overtime scheme?
The police department has no comment at this time.
Chief Allen is Internal Affairs looking into this?
The police department cannot comment on any active investigation.
Chief if your investigation reveals that such a fraud is perpetrated by the union membership, what will be your options?
Greg, when you were a cop on the beat, did you ever get paid for overtime illegally generated?  The EPPD has no comment......I was not asking about the department, I was asking specifically about you, Sir.
I have no comment ...... do we take this as a yes?  

The problem of overtime is complex, in the case of a civil servant, it is stealing from the taxpayer and a federal offense.  So you would think the FBI would be conducting its own investigation, or deferring the investigation to the Texas Rangers.  The city fathers certainly have a duty to conduct an investigation.  In fact their duty to get to the bottom of this fraud, is greater than their duty to build a baseball stadium.

One time a nurse friend of mine was dating an FBI agent.  Apparently the agent got low marks and was xcused.   But the agent couldnt take no for an answer.  He started stalking her.   She reported this to the EPPD and they told him.....just like in the movies she was running scared.

Like a chapter out of Against the Law, one day this agent and his boss showed up at my house.  I sat them down on the kitchen table and you could see the fear in this man's eye.  He was scared that I would expose him and thrown him out of my house.  And there his boss sat, clueless.  

When I started typing Alicia Villareal was on the radio and now its Ray Price singing, Oh Danny Boy.  Sing an Ave over me.
