Larry most of these guys are paid to solicit donations for this stuff, they take about 85% of what they receive as "overhead" costs.

There used to be one of these place in somerville in the basement of a place in davis square. some of them are real sleazy.

Tell them you will donate.. only if they train the staff at DD to better serve you, AND the police officers...



When they called me at work...
I asked the guy foor his name and badge number, and the name of his commanding officer... want to hear one loooooooong pause?.. they don't have the answer for that in the script.. I told him, "look, I'm busy, this is retail.. I'll call the local Chief, or Supervising officer tomorrow AM"... click.. dial tone... guess he was speechless...

I donate to the local Police Relief fund Direct.. no rip-off processing fees get deducted... I would think that Police Officers would be better served.. Firemen too, doing it direct like that, than hiring these sleazeball phone solicitors....

And I too, would like to hear from the guys on the job, on this one.

It's 911, silly!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
