Unreal. I should have been a doughnut chomper with a badge.

[wrench]

175 large for being as glorified toll collector??????

That what stuck out to me too. $175K/yr for a cop that guards a bridge.

The 41-year-old cop, who works at the George Washington Bridge and made $175,000 last year

What's the supervisor and Chief make? Half million per year?

There are a bunch of ‘cops’ like this. The ones that are politically connected and get all the bumps and perks.

I was a Sgt in a major city PD for a long time; only for a few years broke 100K.

These are the guys that show up after the shooting is over and strut around in their gear and show how tough they are. And, who do nothing on the city’s dime except train for free. If I went to the range I had to pay.

Meanwhile, grunt cops like myself were expected to walk nightly into perpetual BS with mininal training and minimal backup.

There is a real distinction these days in law enforcement agencies between the grunts and the praetorians.
