Interesting fact check site: PBA vs Mangano

County Executive Mangano has been honest with the police force by seeking concessions. They should at least be honest with residents about his record of insuring public safety.

It is interesting seeing Mangano and the PBA fight each other considering Mangano gave the PBA a massive handout when he removed the cap on compensation.

the "PBA lies" website is...interesting...interesting in that is really doesn't answer any of the accusations.

Those who wish to make their feelings known to the PBA have a golden opportunity to say it in person:

Here's your big chance, folks. If police salaries are that important to you, then maybe you should counter-rally.

P.S. Pix or it didn't happen.

Mangano is going to lose all his voting power in the legislature.


Wake up call for Mangano and his gold plated pension for doing nothing.

Right, I'm sure the police wouldn't take any punitive action against anyone who shows up to counter protest. You have to be kidding me.

yeah..someone will risk their livelihood just to "get back" at [a presumably] small group of people exercising the exact same constitutional rights.

I see. It's only important enough to complain about on the Internet.

I agree. Why would these police be "nicer," "more understanding," or "more civilized" than how the NYPD has been treating the Wall St. protestors? Especially considering the idea of showing up not to protest an idea unrelated to cops (like protesting Wall St. greed) but showing up to directly protest the cops and the PBA?

Like the cameraman arrested while filming at a crime scene. Wasn't that on Long Island?
