ORIGINAL: BamaD i don't know about what kind of Mayberry RFD you worked in but here they get serious good money and a benefit package you wouldn't believe. Plus if they kill anyone they get two weeks off with pay. Maybe things are/were different there but today, up here in the city, being a cop pays pretty good. You think they should be fired, till it is determined they are innocent, of kept on duty till they find they are guilty? The average pay for police is $56,810 a year, great salary.... 1092.50 a week IF the officer only works, either on patrol or doing paper work etx, 60 hours a week, its still good, $18.21 an hour Problem is that most departments are understaffed so the average police officer work week is between 70 and 80 hours a week. Now for that pay they are expected to put their lives on the line, put up with bullshit from a public that criticizes every decision, miss time with their family. By the way, in the US, the average middle class income is $70 to 78,000 a year.
