    Actually no, being an officer is a horrible job, and even where I live, it’s not very well paid.

      Actually check out your state’s or provincial sunshine list. Being an officer pulls in a 6 figure salary when you include the overtime scams they run.

          75 dollars an hour to play on your phone parked outside a construction site. Pretty great deal.

            Ironically, that’s what I’m doing right now, as I’m on break.

            It’s not really a win if the only way to make decent money is to work a huge amount of overtime though, I quite like having a personal life.

              Just claim the overtime and go do whatever you want, whose going to stop you? The enforcers all have your back.

          “Gee, I’d like to join a corrupt gang of psychopathic, neo-Nazi murders, but I do enjoy my free time…”

          So, the only reason you’re not a cop is because you’re lazy?
