Today, the NFL announced that next week's Monday night football game has been moved from Mexico City to the LA Coliseum due to poor field conditions at Estadio Azteca. The Rams then pledged to provide "thousands of complimentary tickets to first responders who are bravely protecting the greater Los Angeles community, as well as people who have been impacted by our community's recent tragedies." A classy move from the home team — thank you Los Angeles Rams.

Law enforcement is filled with hours of calm and moments of extreme stress. Military veterans generally don’t crack under this type of pressure because they were trained to perform. This type of stress management can’t be taught at an educational institute.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Sergeant ‘Died a Hero’ in Taking Action to Save Lives During Mass Shooting
The Palm Beach experience offers an important cautionary tale for governments considering changes to pension benefits. In 2012, the city ignored the predictions of its police and firefighters and voted to cut pension benefits to roughly one-third of their prior value while adding a 401(k)-like DC plan to its benefit package. The results were disastrous: 20 percent of the workforce retired immediately and a mass exodus of younger personnel ensued. After four years of decimating the police and fire departments, the city restored pensions in 2016, doubled the benefit formula and lowered the retirement age. But the damage was done, trust was breached and public safety was compromised. Turnover of sworn personnel in Palm Beach remains a major problem, today.
The Dangerous Consequence Of Cutting Public Safety Pensions
The Town of Palm Beach is a cautionary tale for employers considering changes to retirement benefits, especially for public safety workers. Their short-sighted decision was an abject failure.
