More Retired NY Firefighters, Cops Arrested In Pension Fraud Probe

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A second wave of retired New York firefighters and police was arrested on Tuesday on disability fraud charges tied to a September 11 pension fraud, said a source involved in the investigation.

A massive ongoing investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's office had, in January, led to disability fraud charges against 106 suspects - 80 of them retired New York cops and firefighters - with some accused of falsely claiming to have been traumatized by the September 11, 2001 attacks on the city.

It's the job you signed up for. If you didn't want to risk your lives running into burning buildings, then McDonald's was hiring.

There's no ptsd for you. This was your primary job complete with full job description.

Ok here's my rebuttal to your comment. Yes they signed up for the job and yes they knew what they were getting into when they got hired. No human being deserves to see anything that went one that day whether they were a fireman, cop, or a civilian.

What kind of rebuttal is that? What does it have to do with the illegal actions of so many cops and firefighters?

Everyone deserves to see what went on that day. Nobody deserved what HAPPENED to them that day.

What went on that day is no justification for what these slugs did.
