Ezpk lmao

You been degening any tickets on 2k league or simulated games listed on the books?

I can’t do it or the soccer/Korean baseball

My friend with the state police makes 6-figures, mainly because he's always looking for OT, but also because he's been working there for several years.

I mean I'm happy for him but that seems like a poor use of tax dollars. It's overpay.

Definitely some states and people who have put the time in that make six figures annually with the state police. There are a lot of different departments, and once you put your time in it's worth it (especially with the pension and benefits you get).

With that said, at a time like this I don't think they could pay enough to deal with all of the bullshit they have to deal with right now.

Nawww man fk that haha

He mostly just patrols the highway. He brags about how much time he has to sleep or watch TV & movies on his laptop. I mean I'm sure there's moments that aren't fun, but for 6-figures it's a cushy job for sure.

the point with paying folks more is to get people worthwhile in seat, not just pay out those with tenure

hire less, but pay them more, make them folks who went to college, or have some form of individual intelligence

not just a bunch of guys who were pushed around in high school looking for revenge

preach brother!

Dumb.

He's a smart dude who got his bachelor's degree in law before going through training, so he's definitely qualified. However, for what he says does, 6-figures seems like overpay.

Other state troopers have it even easier... like my former neighbor is stationed at a weigh station to check commercial vehicles. It's not dangerous, and you really don't need any education to do it, just training for what to look for. Having a state trooper do such a basic task is overpay.

I agree that there should be higher standards for law enforcement though. It's a very low bar to work in law enforcement at the local level. There's room for improvement all across the board: hiring standards, training, oversight, documenting filed complaints, body cameras, legal accountability/punishment for poor policing... the list goes on. Even the purpose of law enforcement needs to be questioned: should the government be doing more social intervention to avoid crime altogether? Should it be the police's responsibility to do this or should another agency take up this responsibility?
