I'm pretty tired of the " shite pay" remark about cops. Is it a surprise to those who sign up? Seems pretty well documented, no? If we doubled their salaries would they stop killing people? Roofers are 3x more likely to be killed than a police officer, and they do it for shite pay too.

This just shows how out of touch you are. Have you met a roofing crew lately? Most of them are drunks, druggies, have a criminal record, or otherwise unable to get a better job. Anyone worth a darn in the roofing business owns their own business and is doing quotes and dealing with customers, not on top of a roof.

The reason to bring up bad pay is because any intelligent person wants better pay, no matter the job. So the guys patrolling the streets are generally either newer or not interested in moving up the ladder, otherwise known as unmotivated. Why do a bunch of smart guys that were professionals in other regards move to working O&G shift work? Because of the pay. When pay is low, the reality is you get what you pay for.
