#12Only 10 days of paid vacation? That's really a bit low IMO.

#13These men and women are signing up to protect us, at great personal physical (not to mention psychological) risk. They should absolutely earn a living wage that enables them to live in the community in which they serve.

#14112k seems pretty high for entry level work, considering they most likely don't have a college education, but maybe it makes it possible for them to live here

Couldn't you say the same about many software developers earning six-figure salaries?
After all, we all know that one doesn't need a college education to be a successful developer either.

You don't need any form of education (besides high school) to become a police officer? If true, that's pretty surprising to me.
It's true in most jurisdictions, as far as I know. Having a college degree of some sort can help get you on the fast track to promotions and/or investigative positions. At the sheriff's office where I worked in the past, you didn't get beyond Captain without some college (with certain exceptions for under-the-table nepotism of course).

#17Looks to be a supply issue for new police officers. I hope the government will create a new foreign worker visa to allow talented foreign peace keepers and law men fast tracked entry in to the US to ensure the safety and prosperity of our citizens and future generations.

#19It's worth paying for good, non-corrupt police officers. Better to pay them well and hold them to high standards than to accept lower standards for lower pay.

#20I think it's fair considering how much it costs to live in SF these days. They also risk their lives everyday serving and protecting. You shouldn't be complaining if a police officer makes more than you. Their potential of making money is actually peanuts compared to civilians. Do you know any police officer billionaires?
