Should police officers get better pay?

YES!


julez
Yes, they put their life on the line every day, they face psychos every minute and do things the average citizen wouldnt do.

I'm an ex-cop......YES.

It is a vital and usually thankless job. NYPD was so far out of line, that they pay for new recruits was ordered increased by around $10,000. And officers received a 9% raise in pay.

Still not nearly enough for what they do. (Teachers are in a same boat)

Of course they should! Fire fighters, ambulance people, they should all be paid more!

yes, when your expected to be shot at, stabbed, run into and all other crap, i believe you should get more than $35,000- a year


min77ion
yes,,and there should be more of them....Dang city down-sizing anyway....


Hailes.
Yes I believe they should...officers, military personnel and teachers. I added a couple but they deserve more money too.

yes they should. they put their lives on the line every day.

I think they should.
I also think the burger floppers at Big Mac's should get paid better too.
The low wage problem is not just the police officer's problem.


John C
Yes, but they should be much more educated. No more Good Ole Boys that enjoy the power-trip. That would be nice.

Many of them do. I know of an incident in my area where a police officer had stolen $200 from someone he arrested and got away with it. In my view police officers (not all but many) are not of calibre they used to be and need to undergo consistent psychiatric evaluation.

And they dont already????
Come on they get quite well paid today and have better pensions than most....Lets be practical, if a Policeman was offered 50,000 pounds a year he would still want more?
No I think they get a fair days pay for a fair days work....Its a job with risk and they knew the risks when they applied. Its a job with Occupational Hazard....

No, they are just grown versions of those kids in high school who have nothing better to do than to degrade their peers.


BEAUTY
no

Not at all. All they do is to give people parking tickets and drive their vehicle everywhere to eat and chill. Look at their belly and think this question over. The answer is obvious.
