For the better part of the last decade, nearly every waking hour of San Francisco Deputy Sheriff Barry Bloom’s life was spent on the clock.
Bloom, a public safety monitor at San Francisco City Hall, was on duty an average of 95 hours a week since 2016, and more than 100 hours a week over the last two fiscal years, according to city data. His workload of late leaves roughly 10 hours a day remaining for sleeping, eating and just about anything else not tied to his job as a sheriff’s deputy.
No disrespect to you sir, or any other non-police first responder types, but the police are notorious for riding the clock for no good reason. Cops clock OT sleeping in their cars on the side of the road. They routinely steel from public funds with this bullshit. We need less funding for the police and they need less OT so we can hire and pay more other public servants who can do some good.
