And the teachers I know have great pensions. Please stop. Good men have died and y'all are whining that they are paid well or you are not paid enough. SERIOUSLY!

when I see theses numbers thrown around, what seems to be always missing is the COST OF LIVING for the area...........what someone is paid in California may seem like a fortune in another state, area, county.......but could be just above the poverty line for the area.................................................raven
Wouldn't the salary for anyone matter from area to area? Your point seems rather "moot."
I understand what everyone is saying but I would also point out beyond the COL factor these people are putting their lives on the line to protect us. I am lucky to live in a relatively safe area but I still appreciate knowing the police are there should I need them along with emergency services which I needed when my mom became ill. You just cannot put a price on that.
Any and all of our emergency services deserve to be compensated for keeping us safe.
I agree. I'm not the one who started this. Better find another way to finish it. I just participted like others.
More than fair enough @itiswhatitis as this thread has expanded into several different directions and I hope you know nothing was directed at you and in retrospect I shouldn't have used your quote to make my post and I apologize for that.

IMO LE and our military should be paid well, they deserve it.
Yes, and raven-blackbird's point above about cost of living is well taken. Isn't the cost of housing in the SF area through the roof?
**************************************
@Ms X The police can easily make two, sometimes three times that pay, what with special events and overtime.
I have seen no reports of complaints or their having a hard time making ends meet. This isn't New York, lol.

I have 2 brothers, 2 nephews who are...or as of today were police officers. ALL of them handed in their badges today and have other jobs lined up. I am frankly relieved and I do not blame them one bit for this hard decision.. One brother had in over 20 years and ALL of them have families of their own. Nephew has a new baby. Is just not worth it to them anymore to become targets of violence. Their wives worried each time they left for work II suspect will be soon harder to recruit police.. I hear they are having a hard time getting anyone to fill the positions left.What will they do now? Do they have other careers lined up?
She said they have jobs lined up.

I'll bet it doesn't top NYC's!

You are right!
PLUS, they DO NOT have to live in SF. There are less expensive places to live right next door.

I realize that they make extra money with details, and I'm okay with it. I'm not implying you aren't. Really, $130 K or even more isn't excessive for a cop who's basically working two jobs to support his or her family.

If this thread were about pay for various professions, I could have my say.
But it isn't.
I am praying for the innocent police lost, on an ordinary day. I will also pray for their families. And for their fellow officers. And for all police keeping us safe. And for our country. That we may have peace and caring toward one another.
If one does not believe in prayer, I guess I would ask them to hold this all in their thoughts.
