Yup. This is for where I live. (Austin, TX).

Basically a single rookie officer straight out of the academy gets paid something around what the national average is for household income. Plus a Cadillac health plan and plenty of paid time off. And it only gets better from there, starting at only 1 year on the force.
Basically if you start in your 20's you can retire by age 50 and get a monthly check for the rest of your life that's almost as much as you were paid while you were working.
All this cops are underpaid stuff is fallacy.
"Fit a description of" a robbery suspect, not "was" a robbery suspect. A description by the way that did not include estimated age, height, or weight. And he did have a permit to carry.
The "pulled over 52 times" thing goes back over 14 years to get a big enough number to paint him as a "bad guy". He averaged getting pulled over 3 times a year, all for bullshit like a loud muffler, not wearing a seatbelt, etc. Got some tickets for no insurance. A lot of his tickets ended up getting dismissed.
All bs little traffic violations. Not a single serious crime on this guy. May not've been the most responsible driver out there, but last I checked that doesn't carry a death penalty.

when you're pulled over with a gun on your lap....you better fucking follow officers directions
can't blame the officer one bit
So when you're ordered to produce ID do you keep your hands up and just use the force to levitate your wallet out of your pocket or something?
I lick the back if my license and stick it to my forehead before they get to the window. Then put my hands out the sunroof.

how about we wait to see the police report, and if there is any audio recordings, before we jump to any more conclusions about this being an innocent man murdered by a cop
Forehead trick always works.
I'm back by the way, holidays over ffs. GODDAMIT!
So, what happened at Boston, I can't really stand reading/watching news.
Let me guess, if String's talking about the license, some cops must have shot some black people.
Am I correct? Or is it some black guys shot some cops? Or did they shoot at each other and there are no cops nor black people left?
Is it Copacalypse, Blackopalypse? Which is it?

Cops shot some black people. Black people shot some cops. They're killing each other off. Our country will be majority Hispanic by Christmas.
When shit like this happens, I remember the episode of South Park - Cancelled.
'Murica would make a #1 TV show on an alien planet. I wonder if we're a TV show for the entertainment of some higher intelligence out there.

NYPD has been called out for corruption in the past, things that they wouldn't document. One would think this would have at least made the news in an accusation or something.
Either way the NYPD is a different beast than cops elsewhere in America. In many areas the only way they make a decent living is to work tons of overtime which no one should have to do. Plus it means they're more often tired and stressed even interacting with the public which is never a good thing.
Also, the additional funding is necessary for better training.
Royalty checks are so 20th century, nukes. Now it's all iTunes and streaming where you can rake in hundreds and hundreds of pennies a year. Get up to date, man.
