Cops have median salaries of six figures where I am, and have higher average and median salaries than software developers. They can make over $250k a year with overtime, and can retire with a full pension after 20 years of working. Municipalities often spend 50% or more of their entire yearly budgets on police salaries, benefits, liabilities etc.
