Its not just the the poor pay for such a job.

Louisville Metro Police Department.
Salary for recruit in the academy = $39,998.40 or 19.22 p/hr
Salary for officer upon graduation = $45,489.60 or ($21.890 p/hr
+ State Incentive = $ 4,000.00

Total Take Home of $49,489.60 = 23.79 p/hr

I am betting it also has to do with:
* Being Shot at and vilified for enforcing the law.
* Being treated like scum 1 second and being called by the same idiots for help the next.
* Having their actions 2nd guessed by Touchy-Feely "SOCIAL ______" cause types that are only trying to incite the community for power and not fix the root cause ---> the Voter Plantation.
* Having less rights and access to equal justice in the media and the courts than the arrested criminals trying to injure or kill them.
* Having to follow a Political Agenda based arrest procedure that places them at great risk of death.
* Watching the media create fake news for profits despite the facts. Just to promote click-bait, political agenda / Social Cause advancement.

America Needs to face the Fact that:
* MOST cities run by Minorities / Liberal Democrats are failing.
* Most of the Businesses have moved outside the city tax base due to the citizens seeking safer shopping environments.
* A large portion of their voters are on the "handout wagon" and not a Tax Revenue source.
* Such Minority Controlled and Ran cities tend to have disproportionately HIGH Crime Rates.

The problem facing the next generation is what I call the Interstate Crime Virus creep of Minority Run Metro's.

#2 Our urban utopias should require no policing. Yet another manufactured crisis.

#3 The cops that are still in these blue areas are just propping up the corruption that is there.

All should resign and leave the people to their wonderful new utopia.

#4 #1 agree 100%.

However, after Kim Klacik, an attractive candidate who promised actually to do something in Baltimore, got 27% of the vote, I'm not optimistic.
