Who are America’s fastest-growing class of millionaires? They are police officers, firefighters, teachers and federal bureaucrats, who, unless things change drastically, will be paid something near their full salaries every year–until death–after retiring in their mid-50s. That is equivalent to a retirement sum worth millions of dollars.

Hey, you want a piece, there's no problem. They're hiring constantly in law enforcement in California where I worked in the prisons.

Cops get 3% pension per year, so if you work 20 years you would get a pension of 60% of your salary.

Go ahead, if you think it's such a good deal, Work 20 years as a cop keeping the most heartless and stupid people off the streets.

See how you like it.

What bothers me is some of the people who criticize civil servants are doing some of the most parasitic shit imaginable, investment banking, skimming cash off the middle of transactions, creating and building NOTHING.

I'm not saying I want a piece. I'm saying they chose their line of work. It was a conscious choice to be a cop. And they have to take the good with the bad of making that choice.

They could have just as easily gone into construction or IT or a million other careers where they wouldn't have to dodge bullets for a living. So a dead cop once in a while is par for the course.
