Conn. Cardio Room Built With Seized Cash

thats a great idea... and it will probably help improve moral etc

With all the millions Police dept recieve from taxpayers surely the money seized could be given to a charitable organization or used to finance a gun byback program which would get guns out of circulation.

Gun buy back programs have never and will never be a solution or even make a dent in violent crime. Do you seriously think that it will take guns of the street from thugs and scum that have no moral compass and don't value their own lives, much less yours? If you do then you need a serious wake up call. I suppose you would like to enact more strict gun laws on the average citizen so they will be more of a sitting duck for the trash that have no respect for the law.

I am not saying that spending (speculating) thousands of dollars on additions to a gym is the best use of funds, I am on othe fence. I don't mind that spending as long as the other necessary tools for the officers are up to date and fully functional (i.e. vests, rifles or shotguns, vehicles, etc.) to make the job as safe as possible. If all that is taken care of then go ahead, build a gym. There is nothing wrong with giving your officers another tool to help them stay in better shape, thus making them safer and better prepared.

Officers in my city, just like many other cities work hard to keep drugs off the steet and there is nothing wrong with spending the seized cash on this.

Great idea, wish my dept. would do it.

All the tax payers dollars...wow As if putting your life on the line 24/7 isn't worth being highly under paid. Your tax dollars also go to Millions of criminals who are provided with three hots and a cot, and cable tv. I love ignorant people. God forbid we not have the cardio to come to your aid in the near future
