Not a surprise that the central city is targeted, raced white folks will have your badge and jobs if you stop them from having a quick drink before going home. Let's see how many on the northside get arrested this weekend while Officer Bonar is working all that overtime.
Bonar’s base salary is $54,070, but he more than doubled it primarily by earning overtime while working grant-funded drunken-driving patrols. Bonar said he was proud of the money he earns because he works for it.
“I work every weekend,” he said. “I use my vacation time. I work 60 hours a week.”
Although Bonar runs the city’s DWI grant program, York said he gets no special treatment in being selected to work overtime. The shifts are filled based on a bid system that rewards officers with the most seniority. Because Bonar has 18 years on the force, he is able to work almost any shift he desires.
Bonar said other officers could work the extra patrols, but they choose not to.
Unless Bonar ratchets up his overtime this year, he will unlikely be the highest-paid city employee again. The City Council last December approved raising the mayor’s salary to $120,000, although the mayor had requested raising the salary to $130,000. Even without the raise, Mayor Richard was the highest-paid mayor in Indiana.
Let's see 7 days into 60 hours equal 8.57 hours a day. Pretty cushy you think?
Working almost 9 hours a day, 7 days a week hardly sounds "cushy" to me. I tip my hat to this officer for keeping the drunks off and the streets and making them safe for my family. Quite frankly it doesn't matter if you're black, white, orange, purple, or have a good tan.... a drunk driver is a drunk driver. How does doing ones job make them a racist? The only racist I see here is you and that is so sad. For your own sake, drop this "race card" and join the Human Race!
ReplyDeleteNot a racist, it's racialist.

7 goes into 60 how many times?
Ok, I'll bite just this once, though I question what good it will do.
ReplyDeleteRacism Vs. Racialism
Racism is the act of one or a collection of many whom feel they are superior to others and openly discriminate against what they consider to be the inferior race or group of people.
Racialism is the belief that a race or group of people are inferior based on their appearance and/or genetics. So to say that someone is a racialist would require knowing them and speaking with them to gain an understanding of their beliefs, however to say someone is a racist one need only to view their actions and/or written statements in your case.
I've also noticed in your ramblings, I mean writings that you often use the term "raced whites" quite often. This simply means the white race and does not refer to racism nor racialism, it also says to me that you are in fact a racist and against anybody with pale skin. You scream for equality, which you have and then some, and yet you are the first to throw a fit and in doing so keep racism alive. Let me give you an example; If I go out to eat and a waitress who happens to be white is in a bad mood and gives me horrible service she's just a b*tch, but if you eat at the same restaurant and she is rude to you, you scream she's a racist. Do you see the problem here? You are being exactly what you are claiming to fight against. A good friend of mine, who just happens to have dark skin by the way, once said to me "It's ok to be irate and it's ok to be ignorant, but it's not ok to be irate and ignorant". Once again I invite you to let go of your hatred and/or educate yourself and join the Human Race.
As for my math....LOL. You said 8.57, good for you, you can use a calculator. I said and I quote "Working ALMOST 9 hours a day". Forgive me for using basic 3rd grade math and rounding up to the nearest hour. I suppose I could have rounded down to the nearest half hour and said 8 and a half hours a day seven days a week. Or perhaps I should have rounded up to the nearest quarter hour, as employers do, which would have made that 8 hours and 45 minutes. I just figured in the fact that unless this officer lives at the station, thereby eliminating his drive to and from work, and assuming that he doesn't end his shift precisely at a given hour that he probably gets a bit more time in. Generally a shift at any job is 8 hours a day 5 days a week. That tells me that this gentleman is going above and beyond his call of duty, and once again I tip my hat to him.
Regardless, assuming he gets exactly 60 hours a week, working 8 hours, 34 minutes, and 2 seconds, seven days a week still does not sound cushy to me.
