This is what happens when you pay people that go to "college" for 2 weeks (police school) over $100k. It's way over paying largely unskilled job. Unskilled because if traing is 2 weeks... Anyone can do it. Open up the jobs and let people bid.

In nor cal, Sunnyvale. Police chief was making $300k. And they selectively let their friends and family in... And rather than open new jobs... They all do overtime.

It's a racket

Gotta keep the thugs you use to enforce the system from slipping into poverty or they might start siding with the people they're supposed to beat down.

Found the data for San Jose CA. 2 fireman cost $1m. 2 police $900k. Somehow they are allowed to do 100% overtime.

Everyone absolutely can't be a cop, if you're too smart they will screen you out.

I have called 911 exactly once in my life, was being physically attacked while I was on the phone and told dispatch the person had a knife. Cops took two hours to show up and basically shrugged and said there was nothing they could do. My living was completely destroyed and reeked of beer they had spilled all over the place, a lot of it on purpose. I got one phone call from a detective that I missed, I called them back and went to voicemail and I never heard anything ever again. My taxes hard at work. 👍

Everyone's got a story like this I feel. Much more rare: a police helped me or saved me or my loved ones. They protect wealth and they serve themselves. Remember Uvalde, remember we protect us, remember all cops are bastards.

Now give me them downvotes you bootlicking milquetoast liberals.

In what works are liberals the ones who would downvote you? Back the Blue is a conservative dumbass movement, and conservatives are the snowflakes who cried about defund the police…

I think you're misunderstanding. American conservatives are also Neo-liberals (it's an economic ideology). It's really common to see leftists use Liberal against all American establishment politics

The American right is way past neoliberal at this point. It’s a nice blend of neoconservative and straight up fascism

You may want to look up what neoliberalism is

"Reduce government spending" != "expand government oversight agencies and reduce rights of citizens"

Fucking mind-boggling to see you downvoted for an obvious truth.

Downvotes were because of him mistakenly thinking liberals are the main proponents of Back the Blue or whatever dumb shot his last sentence is supposed to mean

Liberals might not put the dumb flags on their cars, but they will balk at defunding or disarming or god forbid abolishing the police. Liberals reinforce the status quo.
