Why, in Gods good name, should a police officer make four hundred thousand dollars???
To criticize this jackass is to criticize the union. So nothing will change. We just need to accept the marginal losses.
% of these guys with college degrees? This is just more bs from government.
Skyrocket the cost of living for a job that demands the employees live locally and stuff happens.
New York’s dumbest. NYPD and other regional cops are among the most unintelligent primates I have ever known. Some are like retards. But say a single word in argument, and you will have a very bad day.
No cop or other government worker should get more pay than the military.
Someone on a similar thread at ZH said 18% of Connecticut retirees account for 1/3 of the state budget.
That certainly sounds plausible!
Repeating myself, the city of Atlanta former police chief is paid just under $800.00 per day pension.
Talk about corrupting the word “pension”.
About five years ago the chief of the San Francisco General Hospital Police Department brought in $500,000 after his overtime pay was also figured in.
they also found a Chinese janitor working in one of the BART subway stations who was making about $200,000 a year:
A video audit showed he would come at the crack of dawn, disappear into a little tiny closet and then he would leave after the sun went down.
he would do that everyday and he made a little over $200,000 or something.
If they are required to live where they work, they need to make a lot of money. I think the dems aren’t paying the cops enough.
/sarc, sort of.
It is very expensive living in New York and the dems need to live what they preach, so no sarcasm, the dems need to cough up more of their money to pay the cops.
I live in NY - I regularly get calls soliciting donations from groups collecting for PBA’s and Sherriff assoc.
I politely tell them that while I respect police, only government employees have any guarantees - guaranteed employment, guaranteed health-care, guaranteed retirement, guaranteed disability - the rest of us are set adrift in a sea of uncertainty and high taxes.
The caller usually has hung up by the time I’m finished.....
Don’t forget the generous annual pay increases doled out by spineless government officials, all the way down to the town level. Police, fire and school employees (don’t buy the myth about underpaid teachers, after all the work done by their unions) are paid well and better each year.
Soon there will be ONE cop, ONE firefighter and ONE teacher in each small town, and property taxes will soar to pay the wages.
Let the flames begin.
