From the Los Angeles Times

Let me get this right. Someone can break the law and enter the country illegally, then demand full rights and THATS Ok with the Times because they need to feed their family and according to the La Times all criminals are innocent until proven guilty.... But a cop who forgot to tell his boss he was on vacation has no right to get compensated by his UNION (by the way, I thought the LA Times supported Unions??) and that is just a horrible Injustice and the La Times suddenly MUST stand up to such law breakers... Where are your priorities exactly.

Adam, your article was great! The reimbursement benefit is why I am a LASPA member. Other police unions should follow LASPA's lead!
