They never said cops needed to be "smart" about things. You only have to be good at dishing out charges left and right.

their actions may have been wrong, but should a person who falls asleep at a drive-thru be driving?

Well...thats what you get when one of the most important professions in the world is one of the most underpaid. You get idiots and morons who would even consider being cops. There are certain departments/states that are exceptions, they pay very well, and the officers reflect that. NYPD, LAPD, Miami PD all make crap money, so you are going to have crap cops. How many of you would take a bullet for 21K a year?

I dont know about underpaid... Since its a public office their salary grades are published, and the locals down here in the South start at 45+*

There is one particular cop down here who issued 1200 tickets in the last 6 months for people having license plate frames (such as alumni or car dealership frames). He racked up 160,000$ in overtime pay since 2004, for showing up to court when people contest his baloney tickets
And see, drug dealers and pimps just hustle through a slightly different medium, the badge is really where its at.
