I never thought cops were overpaid.
think about how much your taxes are, lets say there 20 cops on a local force, thats 50 grand each a year or more, X 20, then they pay out real nice pensions as well after only 20 years. that you pay for in the long run.
and most cops dont pay social security either. as they flat out say cops have a short life span due to stress. i think its the drinking most of them do.
i come from a family full of cops, they are all drunks. my family i can say it lol one family member was chief of NYC police he made a 90,000 a year pension, tell me thats right? and then worked as head of security for the
Islanders hockey team at the
Coliseum for just home games, and made another 60 grand a year for that.<<<talk about a part time job right?
cops around here have a second job because they can, most around here own a construction company, that is operated by others, and they can keep tabs on it all day long as they have much down time during the day. and make money with out getting their hands dirty.
my fathers old partner, (roofing co) was a cop, ( this guy was a dick i never liked him, from a small kid you know whos a dick) he wound up putting his kid in charge of his 1/2 of the company, he did the residential side, my dad did the commercial side. after that he did nothing but collect checks. and drive a cop car. oh and not pay his taxes, like i said, he was a dick, so they had to sell the co to pay off the irs, nice guy right.
this ass even arrested me once. nice guy. for trespassing in a house we were being paid to work on too. he flat out didnt believe us. yet the walls have fresh paint on them and we had paint on us. tarps on the floor, windows, doors, trim all taped off. looked like we were doing a painting job. good job barney fife.....
