Small-town police union battles Dems over ‘witch hunt’ and fines on officers [Video]

Dozens of officers in a small-town New York police department near the Canadian border have been fined for allegedly taking part in an unauthorized labor strike during a snowy stretch this winter. 

The union described the fines as retaliation and an abuse of power that denied the officers due process.

One of the officers says the allegations aren’t true. He went to work, participated in on-duty training and even made a drunken driving stop during a span when it snowed “every day.”

“They’re upset that we didn’t make them enough money and meet their perceived ticket quota,” said Andy Thompson, a Tonawanda Police officer and the president of the department’s union, the Tonawanda Police Club.
