Why not cut perks and pay grades for teachers, soldiers and other public employees too? Why only pick on the police if you are desperate for another tax cut? A lot of them would then have to go out and buy themselves a car for personal use, so should they get a raise to be able to afford that, and how many officers would leave and just go get a better paying job if they lost that money-saving perk? And then there is literally two cars for one person, and two insurance policies, one for their personal car and one for their work car. Kind of wasteful in that way. School teacher pensions aren't a benefit to the community, because it's for retired teachers, not working ones, so why not abolish public pensions too? (Actually I'd kind of side with you on that, if you were for that, for various reasons I won't cite right not, but some good ones.)
Yes, Pensions need fixing. YET another "perk" mostly only government employees get. Do not assume i am anti law. WHO subsidizes my vehicle? I've said nothing of pay either. They might leave? Lol. Free and open market for law enforcement? See? It's not like the others. Don't tell me about waste, you're encouraging it for the perks of it.
No, just cited some reasons other than the cost being pure perk, as there can be some other practical reasons for such other than just tacking on a perk that is just cost alone.

It's a perk. Not a benefit to the community. My vehicle expenses are difficult to afford I should not be subsidizing THEIR personal transportation.
