One must pay their mercenaries well. Even the cops where I live "earn" $150,000 to $200,000+ per year. They get plenty of vaca time, great benefits and a 90% pension upon retirement. You don't have to be particular bright of hardworking in order to thrive. Government work is where it's at these days.

Pray tell;
where is that that a cop earns $150-200,00
Chicago median is $53,
New York $58
Boston $55
SF $60
Wrong. Those numbers are way off. In fact, I low-balled as the salaries are considerably higher than I first guestimated. San Jose mercury news publishes a comprehensive, annual database of every public employee's salary in the nine counties of the SF Bay Area. I picked the first samples I could find in the smaller suburban town of Redwood City, which is about 20 minutes south of San Francisco and considered average in living costs and expenses for the region. The lowest paid full-time police officer was Redwood City Police officer with a starting salary TCOE of $170,580. In that small town there are 40 officers, not captains or detectives, but plain beat officers who make over $200,000 per year.
A quick query of the database shows over 8,000 public employees in the San Francisco Metropolitan Area alone, who earn over $200,000 per year. Most of those who stay on will earn a large percentage of that amount in pensions after retirement.
