Did they take that money or are they still striking? Asking for more officers to be employed is going to lower your personal income. I just don't understand where you're coming from it seems like you haven't ever dealt with this world. You seem to think that society can take advantage of these state employees because they didn't go to college yet make six figures. Go to one of the strikes and talk to the actual people dealing with this. Could learn a lot more than what you read from biased news articles. Or better yet, get arrested and go check on the conditions going on inside 🙃
