THE JOB OR REQUIRE GETTING HURT WHILE ON DUTY?? ALSO DID YOU EVER GET THAT
HAND-BIKE AND IF SO HOW DO YOU LIKE DRIVING-RIDING IN IT?

I think Ill comment on this since I was a Police officer myself back in 98. I
think he is really getting a pretty good deal to receive 75 percent of his
income before injured. You have to realize he looks like he was a veteran
officer when he was injured ......so he was probally bringing in 40 grand or so
before injury.........75 percent of that isnt bad.
I think he should keep his position at the station as volunteer only. This
may sound harsh but actually if he was under volunteer status then when he was
ill, had a pressure sore or couldnt get an attendant that day it wouldnt be a
big deal.
As John mentioned which I agree on is we are all going through these same
issues, and some of us would love to be able to receive 75 percent of a 40
grand salary to live on. I have much empathy for the mans situation, but hes
not anyone special and this sort of things goes on everyday.
