ALL public pensions should be limited to $40k/yr.
Part of the anti-cop rhetoric is because of their sky-high pensions. Cops we know have retired with pensions greater than their salary, over $100K/yr. Full benefits retiring after age 50, calculated over 3 percent per year of employment - max of 94 percent of salary, calculated on final year of employment which includes overtime. These formulas allow one to collect far more in a pension than their base salary. Easy street for cops in their fifties.
