Not saying all cops are overpaid, but probably a healthy mix of the two: https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2018/04/16/leaked-nypd-disciplinary-records-re

Some seem to believe NYC is one of the most progressive places in the country, but may not realize it's also known for most corrupt politicians and public servants.

>Some seem to believe NYC is one of the most progressive places in the country, but may not realize it's also known for most corrupt politicians and public servants. Boston is terrible but nobody notices because NYC is nearby. NYC is pretty bad but they look good when compared to NJ that's the same but doesn't have the money to cover it up. NJ points at Chicago and say "well at least we can afford to buy the court system so our politicians stay out of jail". I had a family member in state government. Even in some unremarkable department corruption is everywhere. There was a Greek philosopher who said something like "more laws = more corruption". He was on to something. Too bad being in favor of big government is a prerequisite for being "progressive" these days.

  Well if your platform is "Some Greek guy said something one time that agrees with me, I'm not sure what he said exactly", no wonder not many people are aligning themselves to your cause.

    "Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Tacitus https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Tacitus (he was Roman, my bad.) It's not so much who said it as someone said it a long, long time ago. This is the societal equivalent of someone complaining about a bug in the alpha version then the bug winds up getting shipped.
