A couple new billboards popping up around Bay City are catching people's attention, and spreading a message from the Bay City police officers union.

Lol, this is where I live. Follow the link below for the story.

We should all be scared, especially when the police are INTENTIONALLY trying to induce FEAR in the population.

That's pretty over the top. I would like to know what the police union is asking for in salary increases and other perks.

Our union, of which I am one of our departments reps, are going into negotiations with the hopes of not losing anymore than we already have. We aren't even asking for salary increases. We haven't for the last two contracts.
Times are hard and most of these Towns, Cities, and States are operating on a shoestring. Sometimes it's more beneficial to stay status quo and hope you get rewarded for it down the line when times hopefully get better. I'd much rather get looked at as part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
