Pay depends on the area, if everyone else is making 13 then 22 is a kings salary. Should it work that way at this point? No but it does and being a cop statistically is less dangerous than my job.
I live in one of the poorest states in the country, and even there, 22 is barely above average. So that a fuckin’ lie. This state has TWO of the most dangerous cities in America. Not even the desperate would police this shit for that money.

Small cities will often have a few high paid officers rather than a gaggle of essentially bag boys.
