(12,712 posts)I would have thought $50k as high for a new recruit and maybe $80k or more for a seasoned career professional. This looks like a well funded it job for serial killer cruel sadistic types.
There looks like a lot of room for defending there. That must be some really big budget they have. And you would think you would get well-trained, effective, non-barbaric professionals for that price rather than mesomorph grunts who like to abuse power without giving it a second thought.
No, really, shocking. If you go through the list, even the lower paid officers are getting more than most people make on average, like $170k. Pay them to oppress us low-income citizens.
