As far as cops picking up extra work really is not what I understood people to be upset about. I believe they were questioning why they would be wearing the WPD Uniform when they were not representing or at that point working for the city or all taxpayers but working for the particular bar that had hired them. I don't care if they do this but I do care if they wear a uniform. If you are not on duty you should not have the uniform on. JUST LIKE THE MILITARY....THEY CAN'T BE WALKING AROUND IN UNIFORM. I agree with the other writer it is a conflict of interest. Would they leave their post at the bar that hired them to chase after someone who had committed a crime at lets say a bar down the street...don''t think so! People are tired of the police talking threw both sides of their mouth.
