- femiagbabiaka 4y agoThis problem has been getting solved with overtime pay for more than a decade. Sergeants in notoriously corrupt and terrible Oakland PD make upwards of 500k/yr.
- diebeforei485 4y agoOvertime pay is not a solution, because the overtime is largely going to protect specific stores like Apple Stores and not patrolling the streets.
