UK Campus Police Officer Fired After Confrontation With Student

Yes, this is all true. Guess what else is true? Nashville doesn't have a contract. They have a “memorandum of understanding”. In case you’re unfamiliar, that means “these are your benefits today, check with me tomorrow to find out what they are”. It’s easy for a Mayor to give a 4% raise and start cops out at 42,000 if they have a bachelor’s degree when he can wake up the next day and say “we are broke, so starting pay is down to $32,000 and the raise goes away”. I’m happy they got that for today, but I’d prefer to know what my pay and benefits (guaranteed) are for the next 4-5 years.
