I got paid for some chores... JHB Feb 2012 #133
that is how we do it, exactly. seabeyond Feb 2012 #134
And sometimes the "pay" is just a minor perk reward JHB Feb 2012 #135

I doubt any police department or city manager would confirm that to a news organization. Brickbat Feb 2012 #41
I would hope not. They're supposed to be trained to handle people like him. nt EFerrari Feb 2012 #45
