>>I think a lot of “COPS Problems” as you refer to them stem from not getting paid enough.

Wages have been in decline for decades. Nobody gets paid enough. Most of us don’t lash out by breaking the things we are trusted to care for in our jobs—except teachers and cops.

Nor will anyone ever be paid enough. No matter how much one is paid, one will always want more. Back when I was working, some people I worked with would say, “If they paid me more, I would work more”. Well, they were paid more, but did they work more? No, they only continued to say , “I am not being paid enough, I need to be paid more.”

Agree. I heard for 30 years that teachers were underpaid and then their wages were printed in our local paper. 20% and greater than comparable private sector jobs and with summer vacations and double retirement plans. (teacher and SS)
