[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP to add, and as long as teachers are paid far less, they can keep their pensions. But when we pay cops three figure entry level salaries?? They don't need a pension!! They can have LTC and disability if injured. [/quote]

What if I told you our twenty-something son makes six figures, has a pension, a 457(b) with match, a personal Roth and high five figures in a high yield savings account? He’s eligible to retire at 50 but will probably work until 55 to maximize his pension.[/quote]

Honestly, I’m fine with cops making good money. It reduces risk of corruption from desperation, and if I had a job where I could get AIDS from a needle stick checking someone’s pocket, it seems like a fair trade, on top of the usual people may shoot at you or run you over.

Nurses probably have similar needle stick and disease transmission, but usually the patients are not adversarial (maybe that is wishful thinking). Obv nurses should be paid better too. [/quote]
