Pay is pretty damn good for some of them. In my area, almost all of them make close to 80k and every single sergeant and captain is in the six figures. In base pay only. In fact the total cost of an average cop here is $148k a year.

In a deposition video, Officer Edward McGovern shows how he shot an unarmed man standing on a roof. The city paid $150,000 in a wrongful death settlement.

In Hallandale Beach, police officers are being paid salaries far above the national average, despite being a department riddled with controversial shootings, beatings, and huge payouts to victims of police brutality. And for cops involved in those payouts, subsequent promotions and awards are not uncommon.
