just watched two cops shooting the shit in the Quick Check parking lot for a half an Hour while thier cars were running.,

Most cops make 65k to 80k a year, not shitty pay in my opinon.

And when did any city, state or federal employee ever care about the cost of anything?

the cops in my city make shit for pay. they have to resort to being security guards at local restaurants and cutting grass to supplement their pay. my company hired off duty cops and i have spoken with them about pay. one told me that was why they are called the Police because they are Po.
