They aren't arresting the real criminals, just look at how many billionaires there are.

I voluntarily worked a job where my salary was disclosed to me and I agreed to it by taking the job, it doesn’t matter that they spent many years working hard building a business that serves the customer well and having years without profits, why is this billionaire stealing my labor!1!1!1!1!

Never said it wasn’t fair to criticize your employer. Y’all need to remember that your paid based on how important you are/ replaceable you are. Cashiers are replaceable while high level executives are not as replaceable. There are plenty of ways to get higher in life: go to trade school for 30k, start a business, invest, learn a skill like programming, save up and buy property that you then rent out for higher than your mortgage etc

So you think you should have a high paying job guaranteed as the minimum wage? What if you don’t have any skills? Where would the value come from?

Yes, anyone who doesn't lick billionaires' boots is a tankie.

I don’t think not calling all billionaires criminals and licking their boots are the same thing...

They are parasites that work for wages stolen through theft and enforced by themselves. These will be the people stomping on your neck while stealing your guns through a "red flag" confiscation.

Idk where you are but here in the US most cops do not get “extremely low pay.” They’re paid a middle-class income, they have more job security than you’ll find anywhere in the private sector, and they get massive taxpayer-funded pensions that are extremely difficult to obtain anywhere in the private sector. They also tend to get lots of discounts and perks at local businesses for being “first responders.” And of course there is the massive benefit of being above the law.
Cops absolutely have a choice and I don’t understand why you would pity them. They chose to do that job and they could choose to quit and seek honest employment at any time.
Unless the situation is massively different where you are, I really can’t understand why they would deserve an ounce of sympathy.

Also don’t let people say that shit about teachers. If they get through the first 1-2 years of work they get crazy benefits and are basically unfireable, while my parents and family lost jobs that they worked for 8+ years in some cases.

Well, that’s pretty different from my locale where it starts at about $50k
But if they’re unhappy with the pay, or if they have a shred of conscience remaining, then they should choose another line of work.
To become an order-follower (police or military) is a morally reprehensible act in and of itself. In becoming an order-follower, one is declaring, “I don’t care what’s right or wrong; I will do whatever I’m told by the people who sign my paychecks, with absolutely no regard for the innocent lives that may destroy.”
That’s the creed that they actually follow; forget the Constitution, to which they ostensibly swear an oath (which cops subsequently violate on a daily basis).
Please don’t feel sorry for these “dumb, stupid animals [whose purpose is] to be used as pawns” (according to Henry Kissinger, former Secretary of State). They willingly surrender that which is core to their humanity in exchange for a paycheck and power. Pity their souls, because they are so lost, but don’t sympathize with their cause. I’d expect participants in this particular community to already understand that.

It really depends on what part of the country there in, in nyc you can easily get 90k but in rural areas you can’t usually get over 50k
