I live in Memphis, TN. The average policeman could have their salary doubled, and still be underpaid for what they are asked to do.
Thanks for posting. I did not make this thread for cop bashing, which seems to be a big favorite here. Rather, here is an indication that a large piece of the Dems base (public sector workers) may be weakening.
I’m near Little Rock, AR (Memphis-lite). I know how you feel. The natives are restless. Luckily we have CCW and pro-gun AG and procs.
I live here as well. It depends on what you mean by average. The ones most likely to be out on the blue flu are the ones that even the over-worked Memphis department might be better off losing. There is a bad subculture in part of that department and has been for years.
Then YOU double up on YOUR taxes, voluntarily to pay that rate. Show us the way.
