    Seattle had one (or more?) of them making over 400k with “overtime.”

    SPD officers had a massive payday in 2024 owing to hefty 23 percent raises from the new police guild contract, which were applied retroactively for the past three years. Seventy-six officers made more than $300,000 in 2024, while nearly 400 officers cleared $200,000.

      “Overtime” doing “paperwork”.

      Far be it from me to tell someone they’re maximizing their income but ACAB and it’s significantly in excess of what is reasonable.

          Sure, but they aren’t actually doing their job. They’re sleeping in their cars or working a second “security” job but double-billing the hours.

            Are we talking about the actual overtime or the abuses? If the former, my comment makes sense. If the latter, I guess they were just circle-jerking by saying “bad things are bad?”

                1. Are you saying that’s a good thing, a bad thing, or just stating it?

                2. Do law enforcement agencies in your area have similar restrictions?
