    Pay depends on the area, if everyone else is making 13 then 22 is a kings salary. Should it work that way at this point? No but it does and being a cop statistically is less dangerous than my job.

      It’s not just the raw danger it’s also the shit you have to deal with. I can’t imagine the stress of it. I wouldn’t do it.

      Not to mention with this acab bullshit it’s even less than thankless.

      I have a client who was responsible for recruitment for the local police and she said it was difficult to find people, which leads to worse conditions, more overtime, and more stress for everyone in the department.

        Oh right we should be thanking cops for giving us traffic tickets when we just watched them blow through the same stop sign. We should be thanking them for murdering minorities in over policed neighborhoods. We should be thanking them for… checks notes one more time getting afraid of the dog in the yard they’re not supposed to be in and shooting it to death. /s

        COPS DESERVE NO RESPECT. THEY ARE NOT HEROES.

        You are so fucking cop pilled lmao
