The Goodhue Police Department resigned due to issues with the city's pay, Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck said at a city council meeting Monday.
I generally agree with the ACAB sentiment, but they were being paid $22 an hour which is a pittance. I wouldn't do the job for that salary either.
Pay depends on the area, if everyone else is making 13 then 22 is a kings salary. Should it work that way at this point? No but it does and being a cop statistically is less dangerous than my job.
The article complains similar small towns were offering $30/hr
Small cities will often have a few high paid officers rather than a gaggle of essentially bag boys.
I'd sooner eat my own stool than be a cop, but it's more than $22 if you sit in your idling cruiser looking at your phone while racking up that sweet overtime
Do what job? Eat donuts in the only dunkin donuts in a 1000 person hovel and watch YouTube? Seems like a pretty cushy job for 22/hr. Let's not act like this place is the height of crime...
Don't ever make the mistake thinking that cops have a hard or dangerous job.
