Police State

City police union and its law firm using thuggery to influence politicians from cutting their funding.

"“What you have here is police associations and their law firms hiring private detectives to dig up dirt on elected officials that they can then use to extort them, embarrass them or worse in order to get the elected official to vote against the best interests of the city to protect themselves,” Righeimer told me. “That’s the definition of extortion.”"

They threatened to arrest one councilman for DUI using a false eye-witness report.
