Republicans Discover a New Enemy: Police Pay
The right is mad about cop salaries now. Apparently $343K for a detective who logged $178K in overtime is a Democrat problem, not a "city pays unlimited overtime with zero accountability" problem.
Blame the union contracts, blame the overtime abuse, blame the city budget process. All fair game. But the framing here is doing a lot of heavy lifting to avoid saying anything useful.
An LA detective’s pay was revealed. “$343,000 a YEAR.” Base: $146K. Overtime: $178K. Other: $18K. For ONE detective. Taxpayers are getting destroyed by Democrats.
The "Democrats are paying cops too much" angle is a weird flex that skips the actual structural problem of uncapped police overtime abuse.
