Working Overtime Busting Cops

I'm not for any special interest looting the taxpayers; however, why does the Boston Globe have such a bug up its ass for cops?

"AG helps in inquiry on police overtime

A special prosecutor from the state attorney general's office is leading the investigation into alleged abuse of court overtime payments by members of the Worcester Police Department. Police Chief Gary Gemme says the prosecutor is evaluating all the information in the case, and investigators from Worcester police are cooperating. An internal audit of the department's payroll earlier this year found that seven officers allegedly abused the system for a combined $80,000 to $100,000 in overtime in the first six months of the year. The officers were placed under investigation, accused of manipulating schedules, abusing vacation time, and other "serious abuse" of court overtime procedures. Gemme has not identified the officers by name (AP)."

I wish they would investigate the billions given away to corporations and looted by state government!
