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.

That was kind of my point, sorry I wasn’t more clear. I used to have a lot of respect for cops. Used to, past tense.
