Reply to comment by addctd2badideas in weren't we just about a year ago talking about needing to fund alternate programs to help our youth instead of just pumping money into the police force? the new governor is increasing a police force? by Syphon6645

Enough police will be hard to manage. Who wants that job? Low pay. People hate you and are not respected. Oh by the way, get shot at from time to time.

There are so many things wrapped up in this. It's hard to unwrap.

That's an understatement. It's made more challenging by the fact that the upper command is full of people who are either flat-out lying about their purview and abilities or are just dumb.

I had an exchange with a former district commander that's now a major at headquarters and when she explained how her officers operate according to the consent decree, it was like she had read an entirely different document.

Not low pay. Three times what a city social worker gets after 10 years of schooling and clinical. I consider $125k a pretty Penny.

That's not a teacher's salary at all. I see an Assistant Principal that makes that much. I'm seeing on average $54k to $77k

Social workers are another that is way underpaid and overworked. For what they do and the education they must get to be that is crazy. The ROI to become that doesn't make any sense.
