Thats like comparing pilot pay, and using purple and brown as your comparison statistics.
For ever cop making 100k, there are most likely 5 cops making 35k. Or whatever relationship you wanna use. Just like when we see those silly pilot pay analysis with the average pilot pay.
Pilots are based out of larger metropolitan cities and therefore should be compared to metro police jobs. My cousin is a LA County Deputy and makes over 120K including overtime. He never spent a day in college or the military and is due to retire at 53. Not a bad deal at all.
NYC cops earn much more.
