In 15 yrs I was offered cash only a few times and both times those were people from Chicago. They wanted to pay their traffic ticket “up front” they said.
I was doing a telephone interview in the mid 80’s with the New Orleans Police Dept when the recruiter told me I would make 17k while in the Academy and a little over 20k after graduation. I told him the interview was over. He told me I had to understand that I would make another 20k on the street and maybe more, depending on where I was posted. He was serious, but told me that was “off the record” I passed on the 2nd interview

wake up Ralph! cops are making $250,000 a year with the right detail work. guys i grew up with all retired early as millionaires.
for the record the New York police force is excellent and for the most part so isn't Boston these days. but it took all the money to get them to the top. the people that run those cities pay the cops big money now and don't put up with all the prior bull shit.

Kudos to you! I didn't see it, but it shows that you're thinking through things.
But I do think the solution is much more complex than just discipline. Again, this is the kind of question that spawns a large number of secondary questions, causing us to drill deep down -- to the soul-searching of this society, to family to ourselves.

Maybe he's a Blue Dog Dem. Very different from the extremists of today.
