They do get paid decently, they're only underpaid on the books.

Cops love to steal, they also work overtime and moonlight for extra money.

Every time I see Goatse, I think of Maureen. That's the last thing I saw. Before I blacked out. The sight of that man's anus.

I just remembered that a couple cops died on Jan 6th.

Let the Chuds have America they have a higher kill count on cops than leftists.

Washington Post posted:

President Biden appealed to Congress on Wednesday to suspend the federal gas tax, saying it was critical to reduce the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. “I promise you I’m doing everything possible to bring the price of energy down,” Biden said, as images of oil pumps and gas stations flickered on the wall behind him.

But the notion of a gas tax holiday was met with instant criticism — not only from members of both parties on Capitol Hill, but even from many officials within the administration who said privately that it would probably do little to significantly lower gas prices.

...

But the president’s request is likely to face tough opposition on Capitol Hill, including from top members of his own party who have already made it clear that they object to a gas tax suspension. It remains unclear what Biden plans to do, if anything, to corral lawmakers into supporting the policy.

Hmm, starting to think that someone that shilled for Bloomberg in the 2020 primaries might just be an opportunist with no political compass. Which makes them fit in perfectly in the modern Democratic Party, the one that will be destroyed in 2022.

by the most rudimentary checking of the 2021 data from https://open.ga.gov/openga/salaryTravel/index, the median salary for State-employed police in Georgia was ~$42,500 (std. dev. $26,960, this is heavy-tailed as gently caress). This does not include local-level pigs, and it is as back-of-the-envelope as you can possibly get. Also does not include overtime paid, or the value of their benefits package. Just base contractual salary.

the median household income in alabama is $52,000 so while it is below that, it is above the per capita income of $29,000. i assume they threatened her or something and she needed to pander to cops specifically
