    Average police officer salary in the US is 60k.

    Do you know the average salary in the US? Also 60k.

    Wouldn’t you rather have an average job instead of an “I could be killed today” job? We all would.

    And so the only people that actually want to take average salary at the risk of death are people that are power-hungry and murder-hungry.

    You aren’t gonna get better training at this salary level. You aren’t going to get a system that pays Walmart Manager salary that also has some rigorous hiring and training process that teaches you how to make split second life or death decisions.

    This isn’t the secret service. It’s Walmart Managers with guns.
