    I’m not making wild supposition about my police department. I’d show the numbers if I weren’t one of the 11 people that work for the city that isn’t a cop. I work in the same building and park next to their cruisers every day. I attend the meetings where they get their infinite budgets for flahbangs, tear gas, and new cars while I have to figure out how to squeeze enough money from the budget to replace my permit tech’s keyboard.

      Then maybe you shouldn’t rely on your extremely rare and unverifiable situation to make assertions about the entire US.

      On an unrelated note, I am paid $5,000,000 per second in a job that totally exists and is extremely common but I can’t prove because it would dox me.
