Cops and firefighters in Michigan are protesting Lansing lawmakers' latest efforts to rein in pensions and benefits for retirees.

Bills that were introduced at the last minute would end post retirement health care for public sector union members.

Lawmakers says the current system is underfunded to the tune of $11 BILLION dollars.

The head of the Police Officers Association of Michigan calls it "an insult to every police officer and retired police officer in this state."
