Give me a break. Police with the backing of their unions have some of the cushiest benefits. It really just sounds like a bunch of ungrateful people especially in light of how terribly they do their jobs.
How do we truly fix the problem? We dissolve the police union and make police jobs less secure. They should feel the pressure of the fragility of their employment. It’s not like it’s a skilled position that is hard to fill.
- heavyset_go 6y agoI have to agree. Cops can retire with a full pension after only 20 years of working. They make a median salary of $105,100 a year before overtime[1], and can make more then $250,000 a year with overtime[2].
