It’s sad to see our police get paid what they do, when a guy catching a football can make 100x what a teacher or PO makes… I know I wouldn’t protect your asses for the little that they make.

i understand the need for cops, the world would be a shitty place without them. But statements like that are make me wonder if you have a brain. i like cops… thats why I, and so do you, we pay their salaries. not to be pedantic but sorry speaking on behalf of the medical field, a cop doesnt need to go to school nor do they have any “special” skill per se. People get paid in accordance with the skills they posess(learned in school). i apologize ahead of time since my figures are from 2004 (but the salaries are higher now due to inflation etc), in buffalo they get paid $56,380.00 a yr, as the lowest ranking officer. I hate to break it to you guys but thats not that little. You want to be paying them a million a yr youre an idiot because then taxes would go up and it would come right out of our pockets. other jobs like Dr’s you come out of school with $2-300,000 in debt at the age of early to mid thirties. You take an officer exam and get trained, big shit. You put your life on the line which is very noble, but they agreed to it, theyre hired enforcers by us the people. A football player doesnt wake up one day and say i want to catch a ball, they have to train for yrs AND posess the necessary skills to be payed that much. Do you know how many kids want to be professional athletes, and are really good, but just not good enough? Its darwinism survival of the fittest. if a Dr. gets paid $380,000 a yr, well im sorry but my malpractice costs about $140,000 a yr not to really cover my ass incase i leave my pager in your spleen, but for some WASP woman to bitch that she “cant breath as well” after a gaudy rhinoplasty so she can look like britney spears, sue even after signing the consent waivers to the dangers of the procedure, and win because the legal system fails us again, just like oj, with unformed vacillating idiots on the jury…
basically… im not bitching, there are just known[COLOR=Black] risks in every profession… nobodys forcing you to do it. so if i get sued thats part of the job, if a football player breaks their neck and are paralyzed forever, part of the job, when people get a ticket they dont think they deserve and tell a cop off, its part of the job…
im not singling you out, im saying in general the world is perhaps an unequal place, people should just STFU and live life, enjoy it, and if someone has a shitty job, and makes no money, they should do something about it themselves instead of complaining how life is so cruel
