The theory as to why we have bad cops: low education and not paying them enough
There’s no end to reports of low-paid cops who can’t resist the lure of easy money that an illegal drug trade engenders. Combating the violent gangs and ruthless businessmen, the average sworn, full-time policeman in the US as of 1999 was earning between $29,840 and $41,206, according to a national survey conducted by the International City/County Management Association, (ICMA) in Washington DC.
Putting their lives on the line everyday in a War that shows no sign of end, no success or victory just around the corner, it is easy to understand how these officers could get discouraged and maybe feel they deserve more for their risks and services when finding stacks of untraceable money on drug raids, or offered payoffs by dealers and cartels
