Suffolk county homicide police make $100k+, with unbelievable benefits. Guys later in their careers can get 200 days of paid time off per year, a very generous pension that cannot be taken away, and take home cars with gas paid for by the county.
They are unbelievably bad at homicide investigations, mostly just following hunches and beating suspects.
The problem isn't just the pay, they are rotten institutions that are beyond repair short of firing most of them at once.
American flag apparel/stickers.
Sometimes old people who are progressive(ish?) will have American flags on their house, but only serious chuds buy American flag shirts.
