“Really. You have attended HOW many police academies?”

Just HOW much training can a person get in 12-14 weeks? If they are SOOOO highly trained then why is the pay so crappy?

Relative to their qualifications the pay isn't crappy at all. A typical career cop salary is in the $40-80K range with a bloated lifetime government pension package and retirement at 50.

There isn't another job in existence that pays that kind of money to someone whose only qualifications are a GED and whose only training is a couple months at an academy.

Good question, can be applied to many professions. . .like perhaps, Navy SEALs.
