(WTNH) — Connecticut’s state police union is angry over a memo, obtained by News 8, that encourages troopers in the Bethany barracks going on a ticketing spree Friday to beat other barracks and win pizza.
The email, from Lt. Anthony Schirillo, challenges troopers to write 350 tickets or more during a 24 hour window starting at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The shift with the most tickets gets pizza, another message said.

Lt. Vance should do us all a favor, take a hike and fade into obscurity.
**“This is not a quota. Troopers have discretion,” Vance said.
“There is nothing more difficult for a Connecticut state trooper than to stop a family — a husband, a wife, a couple of children in the back — for a motor vehicle violation, and hand that family a $275 ticket for violation of the rules of the road. But we look at that family and hope that we have saved a life.”**
The union is *angry*....not calling for this supervisor's head on a pike...*angry* they got caught?
*Angry* they have to explain away their depravity, again.
These damn fools get a food allowance in their paychecks. Morons.
I can't remember what the legal term is for this information, but any derogatory info regarding a law enforcement officer is discoverable by the defendant. That is why it is so surprising how many police officers win their jobs back in arbitration after serious misconduct. That officer is almost useless to his department because any arrest he makes will be challenged on his history of poor integrity.

Wooster Street is still pretty safe. I visit the area somewhat regularly. Modern Apizza on Grand is in a scarier section. A New Haven-style pizza restaurant finally opened in Chicago, so I no longer have to go 1,000 miles, deal with Sally’s crazy hours or lines.
I wouldn’t rule out very good pizza places in other areas (a transplanted NYer) supposedly opened a top notch place inPhoenix, of all places. Still, I think Sally’s coal fired oven that has been fired up for over 70 years gives the place a significant edge over any would be competitors.
