The most overpaid people in America? Maybe the world?
What makes it worse, of course, is the fact that the best and brightest don’t stand a chance of making it onto this police force unless they are also heavily connected to local pols or highly-placed people who are already on the force.
I don’t begrudge any policeman from making a good wage, but when some of these people are pulling hundreds of thousands of dollars (supplied by you, the taxpayer) for doing little more than issuing speeding tickets and taking the beer away from high school students, then something is amiss.
