Fundraising Calls from the Police?

bullet proof vestScarsdale10583 received this letter from a Fox Meadow man who was angered by fundraising calls from the Policemen's Benevolent Association.  See below and read what we previously published about this fundraising effort here:

Dear Scarsdale10583: I just hung up on my third obnoxious call from the Policeman's Benevolent Association and I've had it. They call asking for outrageous amounts of money to buy bullet-proof vests and then proceed to assure you that, in return, you will receive a card and shield signed by the local Sergeant that will assure you of "being treated the same as if you were family of a police officer". When I asked if that meant that police family members don't get ticketed, he retreated quickly ("I never said that") but the implication that a contribution to the PBA buys you immunity was ready apparent and it is really repugnant. I don't know if you've ever been on the receiving end of one of these calls or have had others complain about their aggressiveness but I think there is an interesting story that needs to be brought into the sunlight. The callers aren't even policeman.
