I remember back in 11 a cop was at a deli who was broke and could not afford the cup of coffee. Someone gave him a buck. He was 2 years on the job he said and he made 29k sad!!!!

Are you a cop?

If you look at the starting salaries it shows it so low? Maybe cops got a raise over the years?

Salaries are posted online because it's a public job, on top of that you can see cops making up to 2-300k per year with overtime

Those are executives and not representative of rank and file. There’s maybe less than 1000 cops making that income, and that’s only because they’re 6/7 tiers of supervision up. Your average street cop is looking at maybe 130 if he’s getting a shitton of overtime and

No, I’m a teacher, and like cops, our salaries are posted online because we are public servants. That dude lied to you.

While you are correct that cops did make 25k a year starting (just over the poverty line as per their contract so they couldn’t qualify for government aid) those same cops had their contract raised to 45k starting and 85k topped out. That being said, look at the neighboring counties, cops making 100 110 120 even 150 a year before overtime doing half the workload NYPD has. They make a “lot” compared to low income jobs but they’re the low income job next to their peers.
