Just like you donate your money from memorial day , please you think nothing of sitting in your back yard drinking your beer all at the expense of the men and women who have fallen for this country so come down off your high horse. There was never any intent on cashing in at the expense of the men,women,children that died that day. Explain why our federal goverment cant even finish the memorial that they started years ago to honor those who lost their lives and last but not least if you stop for one moment Massachusetts should have stepped up sooner it all started at our airport just 15 miles down the road and please let not start throwing stones at each others Unions you guys have enough problems lets not go there.

We understand the fact that peabody police were not there in NY it is not there to disrespect the people that were there it was intended to memoralize the people who where there and hopefully force the federal goverment into making this a federal holiday , so people young and old never forget that our country came under attack that day and thousands died. I dont hear people complaining about being paid for memorial day why not millions have lost there lives for that holiday and most people get the day off and extra pay for that one. Police do not get the day off on 911 they work a 4 day on 2 day off shift so you work holidays and 24/7 unless it falls on your regular day off.

yup and I bet you spend the extra money you earn for memorial day. Maybe this will get the Federal Goverment off their lazy a##es and force this issue that 911 SHOULD BE MADE A FEDERAL HOLIDAY for everyone young and old so we dont forget that our country came under attack and killed thousands of Americans and two of those planes took off from Logan Airport. Thank You PPD for getting the ball rolling. God Bless

Memorial day is a dark time also but you have no problem sitting out in your back yards drinking beer and cooking on the grill how about the men and women who died for memorial day. Unless this issue is pushed the Federal Goverment will not take any steps in remembering this day and neither will any of you. You will go to work just like any other day, well maybe now it will become a Federal Holiday so it's not just like any other day.

how about memorial day were you there fighting for this country I bet for the men and women who were in the different wars thought those were the most terrifying hours of their lives but people all over this country every year who never even spent a day in the military get their holiday pay and have the day off for memorial day , fourth of July or Martin Luther King day . It's not a holiday it a day to remember those who have fallen for this country.

then why do so many people get compensated for memorial day look how many people in this country get the day off paid for memorial day a day to remember men and women who died protecting this country. People love to dump on the police and make them all out to be these over paid lazy do nothings. Im sure in your job you get perks to an memorial day might even be one of them so think before you speak

Stinking RIP OFF. Just what you could expect from them. Why did the Peabody City Council cave in to that pile of crap union.

Sorry but I feel like what I am about to say presents a stronger message and I hope the Peabody Police Union reads this. My friend is a panicked mess, he is paranoid. His father is a police officer and was one of the first responders. He is still alive and continues to work. Although my friend is better, he still worries while his Dad is on the job. The kids life is miserable, he can't enjoy himself when his Dad is working.

SO explain why some cops in Peabody, MA get 9/11 off or get paid more while his Dad works.

I stood outside my Middle School on 9/11 staring at the big cloud of debris in the sky. I went to school that morning staring at the NYC skyline, now I stare at chaos not knowing if my family survived the deadly attack. I also did not know the state of my friends fathers who were police men and probably at the scene. Some died and others are fortunately alive. But guess what they work on 9/11 like it is every other day. Sure they attend memorials, but they don't get compensated. This sickens me that a bunch of cops from Peabody get off or get paid more on a day they had little to nothing to do with. Did you run in and carry an elderly woman on your back down ten flights of stairs as a man I have been blessed to know did, NO. I wouldn't mind if this was initiated by the state of MA since obviously people helped out and I wouldn't see it as a selfish act, but for a town to do it.

This is insane! 30 Peabody Police officers should work for free on 9/11 in honor of the Fallen.

I have my thoughts on this and you have yours .. I am not an idiot for having my ideas you are one .. So I am done posting anything that has to do with it .. When the government finally stands up and makes Sept 11 a holiday, remember your not going to accept extra pay for it .. If they picked Sept 15 would anybody be upset about this 11 or does anyone know what Sept 15 th is ???????

This is all about greed. Lost a few road details, so another way to stick it to the taxpayers. Dump these unions and the officials who signed off on it. We already get MEMORIAL DAY! Should we also get Pearl Harbor Day, The day Hurricane Katrina hit or other noteworthy disasters? These guys are even working in NY city or PA or Washington. They are disrespecting their brothers.

Patti, you're an idiot. Do you realize Peabody police have almost 20 paid holidays, including VJ day and evacuation day...ya, it's all about the money genius.

So why isn't pearl harbor a paid holiday? It's all about the money, or else they would have some type of remembrance without the extra pay.

Typical cops, trying to cash in on anything they can. Too much power.
