Compared to newly-minted coders getting low 6 figures? Well... The world would be a better place if cops and teachers were trained, paid, and respected like doctors. Police officers' jobs are mostly boredom (e.g. manning a radar gun) mixed with occasional stress and quite a bit of dealing with people in their worst moments (e.g. desperate, angry, drunk, or high). If they were paid more, the job might attract enough candidates to hire more people with the intelligence to de-escalate situations, and fewer who get off on the power.
- pravda 9y agoPolice officers in Suffolk County New York get $250K-$350k/year compensation packages. The former Suffolk County Police Chief is currently in federal prison for attacking a handcuffed citizen. [1] Sorry, but paying Police Officers as if they were SAP consultants does not improve the quality of their policing. Oh, and if you're wondering, why didn't the District Attorney protect citizens from the police? Well, he is under federal indictment for covering up police crimes.
