Or would you prefer a well-rested person performing these procedures?
Now, I don't agree with MJM necessarily on the amount that CPS is getting paid. I'm okay with it, but that doesn't mean I'm going to just sit there and belittle him simply because he doesn't share my opinion. I don't recall him pulling out one-sentenced, condescending replies to others here.
I think some of you need to relax, realize opinions do exist and they won't always be the same as yours.
Note: This isn't with regards to all posters here.

The bottom line is he simply doesn't understand the law enforcement field. Law enforcement is so fluid that it is really hard to plan when you will need officers. There are so many variables. What I could see happening is Calgary hires an X number of more officers and then all of a sudden the over time has now increased X number of percent because you have that many more officers creating work. In our office we could easily double our staff and still have more than enough work.
I for one have no problem with him debating this issue; but he comes across very arrogant and he acts like he knows all the issues which he clearly doesn't.
