not sure i get what the anger is over the police to military comparison, seems like theobs of running a police department isn't that different than some kind of mechanized infantry-not the danger but you plan patrols, supervise the men doing the patrols, plan their training, keep track of equipment etc

If the general public ever saw the comments here they'd be disgusted. And rightfully so. Are you kidding me? No one has an entitlement mentality like a hoodrat. Any working man, union or not, firefighter or police, has less entitlement mentality than a welfare rat. How in the hell can you compare anyone with a job to a hoodrat?

If he got that deal in a contract and they were stupid enough to give it to him, then I guess good for him. But something is fishy and probably criminal, definitely stealing from the tax payers.

This is what happens when you have a government unit run by Democrats, for Democrates.
$800,000 mayor, $700,000 police chief, plus others. Average Bell, Ca. citizen = $32,000 And these low life Dems will have the gall to complain how Republicans are out to help the rich. Fucking lying bastards. |

He's a fucking police chief and it doesn't take a 450-770k salary to compensate somebody to do that job. Police chiefs all over the country get paid significantly less and are fairly compensated. This is completely ignoring the fact that the city CANNOT afford to compensate employees that much even if there are only a few. That nullifies your argument.
I bet you think Tiger Wood's wife was entitled to 500 million dollars because she popped out a couple of kids and had a rock placed on her finger too. |

Guess its now their Chiefs who are in the crosshairs of those who are in favor of paying poverty wages in metro areas where the cosst of living pretty much requires a salary that must seem awfully high to those in mayberry. |

Chief of police of a major city, or large state is gonna make well over $150K... But yeah, those are few and far between jobs. |

Title of the post should say "$500,000 to be a criminal"
The Chief there is a fucking crook plain and simple. They stole from taxpayers plain and simple. He covered for the people that initiated the idea. Should be taking a dirt nap. |

Uhh, this completely different than the OWS faggots bitching about capitalism and salaries of people working in the private sector. This guy's salary is TAXPAYER FUNDED. The same laws of supply and demand act across the public space, same as the private. Qualified, experienced LEO's that are capable of running a large department are few and far between. |

Guess its now their Chiefs who are in the crosshairs of those who are in favor of paying poverty wages in metro areas where the cosst of living pretty much requires a salary that must seem awfully high to those in mayberry. Every person that is on the public payroll should constantly have their position and compenstation evaluated to see if they are necessary and appropriate. |

Well, I'll be expecting my raise courtesy of you any day now. Oh wait, we've been out of contract for most of the past decade due to the county claiming poverty |

To put it into prespective the Chairman of the JCS with millions under him and hundreds of billions in annual budgets make in the 300k per year range with pay and allowances The military is underpaid. Very underpaid |

Which creates the revolving door of high ranking military going to defense contractors and lobbyists. |

Obviously, the situation in this local is FUBAR. But that does not apply to everyone who works in the public sector. |

Which creates the revolving door of high ranking military going to defense contractors and lobbyists. The current CJCS is 60 years old and has served for 38 years. Furthermore it looks like most recent CJCSs have served a pair of two-year terms. Not exactly a revolving door. |

I could see a cop maybe, MAYBE topping out at $150,000/year....and even THAT is REALLY stretching it and giving LEO the full benefit of the doubt. First off...........it has nothing to do with .mil vs. .leo.......lets stop comparing LE and the Military.......but yes you are correct: when a 4 star General makes way....way less ten that.......no way should ANY fucking Police Chief make that much. No matter how hard they try to, LEOs will NEVER be comparable to the military in any way. My LEO career had more danger in it then my Military career... Statistically, a 7-11 clerk has a more dangerous job. Should they all make $150,000 a year plus OT and bonuses?? False. Unless you have a source, then I will recant my statement. |
