In the US, the 10th percentile cops earn about 40K a year. Median local cop salary in the US is 65K. And that's the SALARY.
And let me know if ANY cops in the US have ever complained about overtime -- guaranteed overtime and overtime pay rate are often specified in police union contracts and there are tons of articles every year about cops making $100K+ overtime on top of base.

- klyrs 5y agoI'm all for taking nonviolent responsibilities away from ("defund") the police, but I'd rather cops got paid $100k to not work so much overtime. Spend some time with their families, come to work rested, maybe they won't be so trigger happy.
