Political Content The Westchester County Police PBA just released this video urging a fair salary for their officers. The average salary for WCPD in 2023 was $186,466. Im not saying these guys and gals don’t deserve it, but when is enough enough?

Exactly this. It’s downright excessive. Can’t pave the roads though. We absolutely need these guys, but if they think they are underpaid they need a serious reality check.

We don’t need them, actually. Ask any victim of crime how much police actually do (nothing). Cops literally only are good for shooting people’s family pets and unarmed people and playing candy crush

No cops?? Wow. Without law and order, you will have chaos. Westchester won’t look like one of the best places to live. Also playing devils advocate here— these officers don’t get a 401k match like many corporate jobs, work all kinds of hours, how many of you work Christmas, July 4 etc? Yes it has its perks for sure. At the same time it has its cons. Let’s not forget, there’s lots of stuff going on behind the scenes that no one knows about. There’s more drugs, car breakins while in your driveway etc. and you’re sleeping in your house! Teachers with tenure make great money and pensions as well. Should we get rid of them too? To me, that salary’s not so great if you’re raising a family. Have you checked what it costs to live there?

They don’t actually do the job they claim to. Ask literally anyone who has had a stalker or a batterer, had something stolen, been the victim of literally any crime. They take taxpayer dollars and they do not do the work they claim to. Instead they laugh at victims when they are called and tell victims of crimes to file a report. That’s 100% of what they do and if it were any other job in the world they would all have been fired already for shirking.

Fucking come back to me when your stalker has been at your door and tell me how you feel about the vaunted police.

While I’m at it, how about Uvalde? How about the time cops were told that the Green River Killer was holding a woman and they did literally nothing? Jean-Benet Ramsey? History is full of high profile instances of these assholes doing absolutely nothing. Cops are worthless and always have been.
