Omaha Police Solicitation
They want money (yours) for their kids program - and their pocket

More money for their use. Oh, and I forgot, the kids

I have two  calls on my caller ID from this fund raising are of OPD.  I do not get a benefit from OPD calling me here in Plattsmouth.  I give my money to my sheriff's department.

I''m glad I wasn't home because they would have gotten an earful.  Call and ask for money when these guys are retiring at 45 with spiked and bloated pensions?  They steal from us via their union contract and then ask for donations.  I gave out of my paycheck, at the grocery store, every time I buy gas, etc., etc.

They are raising money for a good cause.  In case you haven't been watching the news the gun violence in Omaha is getting worse everyday and they are just asking for a little help.  Maybe raising money for our youth to keep them involved in extra activities and keeping them off the streets sounds like a waste of money to you guys but to me it sounds like they CARE and want to make a difference.  It's unfortunate that people think that this has anything to do with their pensions or union contracts.  If you don't want to help by donating money get involved in other ways.   Remember these same police officers put their lives on the line everyday to help protect us and they are just asking for a little extra help in any way we can.
