26. "oh yeah man, police have an overtime racket." In response to In response to 24
their base pay is fairly low, around 100K i believe, but they do all these overtime hustles.
some of em hitting 300K.
as this is my city, i'm conflicted on all this shit. i liked that we had a black, woman police chief. however, not much was changing under her watch. to be fair to her, i'm not sure what she could change. she probably could have changed more but i'm sure there's things people (protestors/the community) clamor for that she really just has no real control over.
and i mean, i support defund the police. i know some people here a calling in to question getting her out and that it's weird that people calling for racial justice also got out a black female chief...but she chose to resign and i don't even blame her. i'm not sure anyone wants to be chief right now. i don't think her being black matters as far as defund the police goes - they would have wanted any chief out who wasn't bending to the will of people. i dunno. shit is complicated.
she probably made the right decision but i feel for her but my concern is also tempered by the fact that she is a cop and too many cops are out here violating.
so yeah. i guess i made zero points in my reply. i dunno. shit's tough.
