I shouldnt say this but I will.
Stop pretending like you are some unsung hero doing a job for pennies with your life on the line. LEOS are in general , VERY highly paid for their level of education and skillset. There arent many jobs where you dont need a degree or some specialized skill, and can still pull 60-120K a year. Furthermore not everyone sees you taking dope off the street or restricting non violent "criminals" as a service to society. The NUMBER 1 job of police is to protect the public, yet when seconds count, the police are minutes away. I am not trying bash LEO's yes it can be a hard job and yes you can get injured.........but so are many others.
I have ALOT of friends and family who are police officers, and almost all of them get paid much more than they are worth. Stop pretending like police aren't highly compensated for this abnormaly high risk you think they incur compared to many other jobs. I wish I got paid 120K a year while dodging IED's and being a Human Target to draw fire from Haji. I also didnt get to go home to my family every night or sleep in a warm bed, or even get a hot shower.
