Reply to comment by Captaintripps in NYPD Captain Jackson Cheng falsifies 400 work hours totaling $60,000 in salary, is allowed to retire with partial pension rather than be fired by Remocracy

Right here; the pension system is ridiculous. Even if he was jailed, chances are he would still keep his pension. See Sheldon Silver, for example.

Quick deflect to a democrat!

I pointed to Sheldon Silver because he is a high profile politician from NYC.

There are plenty of Republicans as well, but it's definitely harder to find local ones for obvious reasons. Grimm is an example, although he worked for a federal body so I am not sure how that is relevant.

Silver might be a bad example as well, since he worked for a state body. But I am sure I can find other crooks in NYC who kept their pensions.
