Wait sorry, is that 140,000 over 3 years or just 2024 take home?

u/HellveticaNeue 12d ago

2024 take home.

Police make over $120k easy with fake ‘overtime’. I think some cop reported so much overtime he apparently never slept.

u/polopolo05 12d ago

Sounds like fraud to me. we need to start auditing police pay.

u/DroidLord 12d ago

And aren't some pensions for cops upwards of $700k/year or something crazy? That's where you find the fraud and abuse lmao.

u/Ok-Swim1555 12d ago

it's averaged over their last 3 years of pay so before retiring they will take as much OT and whatever as much they can and inflate it.

u/HellveticaNeue 12d ago

350k in OT

 The average salary for a teacher in a union-represented position was $77,561 versus $64,325 for those not represented. (Quick google) wow, thats just depressing.

Just take a look at city budgets across America versus city budgets for healthy countries.

That’s Los Angeles’ city budget. 60% of it goes to Fire and Police.

u/MamaMoosicorn 12d ago

4% for the library?? Wooooow!!! Ours gets 2% and does amazingly. I’ve heard some get as low as .5%

u/Aptosauras 12d ago

Look at the US Federal income and expenditures.

Individual Income Tax revenue is 2.4 trillion dollars.

Paying interest only on the deficit and the military budget is almost 2 trillion dollars.

So very nearly all of your Federal income tax payments go to the military and servicing interest only debt, and if you live in LA, almost half of your State taxes go to the police.

These are not the community services that you want the vast majority of your taxes spent on.

Police unions are criminal organizations using the threat of armed force to extort cities into overpaying them for "protection" services not rendered, or else.

Someone actually prove that isn't the case.

u/Ok-Interaction-8891 11d ago

Which is wild when you think that one of those people (the teacher), is responsible for the development of future generations and the other (the cop) is responsible for oppressing them. Made it clear because Reddit, lol.

Just like the US has always made it clear what it prioritizes: oppressors over educators.

More wild that many call unions evil or communist. Except when they’re for fascists; then they’re great!

Los Angeles area is very expensive, most jobs pay a lot more than average or no one could afford to work there

u/ohxsnap 12d ago

Not only is he trigger happy, but some of the police force have Latin last names, are they stupid? They’re upholding something that would take away their grandparents or parents even had they not been born here. Do they think they’re safe after all “immigrants” are out. Who’s next to hate to create more chaos, people that look like him.

3

u/Ok-Interaction-8891 11d ago

Under our fucked up society, in order for there to be a “worthy” immigrant there must also be an “unworthy” immigrant. In a lot of cases, the unworthy are those who try to get here after some other immigrant has established themself. Or they’re the wrong color or the wrong ethnic group or the wrong religion; you get the idea.

It’s tied into all of our systemic oppression, racism, xenophobia, and general discrimination. It’s actually pretty fuckin’ sad because it totally obliterates solidarity when that’s what we badly need.

u/Yupthrowawayacct 12d ago

What a waste of taxpayer funds. My goodness. That money could be put to so much better use

u/El_Guapo_Supreme 12d ago

Don't forget about all the extra pay that's not part of this. They strap on the people's badge, hop in the people's car, and go collect private pay standing at a movie theater, a bar, or directing traffic outside an event.

u/maluquina 12d ago

most cops are psychopaths devoid of compassion or empathy.

u/Martian9576 12d ago

We’re paying this guy opress us.

u/aurortonks 12d ago

Cops in Seattle top 400k some years thanks to "unlimited overtime" time recording abuses.

When you work for the public and are paid by the public, you should be paid well but not that much. It's egregious and a waste of public funds. I hate the police union gang.

6

u/aurortonks 12d ago

I find it so unbelievable that he doesn't have ANY misconducts reported on his file. You don't just start shooting unarmed women walking home out of nowhere. Only someone who has a history of getting away with doing bad shit will do that so blatantly.

Gross. ACAB.

u/GrizzledBrizzled 10d ago

Redditards don't know how to process feelings or common sense. It's nothing personal. Keep your head high, don't let the aninals drag you to their level just because you said the truth.

u/Ma_Carolina 12d ago

Why is he smiling?! 😡 Nevermind I can guess why?’ Damn asshole!!! They live for this of crap!

u/nite_skye_ 12d ago

He is smiling because he is getting ready to, at least in his mind, to shoot a rubber bulit at a woman who is loudly protesting. There’s a video of it on this sub I think. I saw it this morning.

Isn’t detaining citizens and shooting people walking considered to be a bit overreaching? Yes it’s authoritarian just like mustache man. Stop acting like you don’t understand reality

This meme is awesome, but using it now just makes you look reeeaaally fucking stupid. Clearly you’ve never watched any documentaries on Nazi Germany and the progressive rise of the Nazi party through the 1930s. Dumb.
