My girlfriend is a teacher. We run into her coworkers working behind bars, at grocery stores and waiting tables after hours.

"Teach the next generation and you'll have to pick up a second job to make ends meet" should be the new saying.

I don't think it's limited to teaching. Don't a lot of cops do security gigs on the side?

That’s just so they can get their daily fix of beating up poor people

And cops are not one of those professions.

In my state the average salary is around 67k. Thats not enough to get me to risk my life everday

It’s hardly risking your life everyday.

Well, the police are way over-funded and our public school systems are way under-funded. If they can keep us dumb they can keep us down.

They maybe over funded but I always thought thats because they choose to blow their entire budgets on military grade surplus equipment
