You are right, law enforcement officers do not typically get paid more than $50,000, however, as a matter of public record it is a fact that 28% of the sheriff's department make over $50,000 per year. That compares to 17% state wide. Heck they have two chief deputies making over 100k right now. Two Chief Deputies! Where else can you find that? What county has two? What county pays a helicopter pilot $70,000 a year for less than 60 hours of work a month? Don't believe me? Call the county human resources office and ask to see the records, it's all pubic information, you're entitled to it. While you're at it ask how many deputies were promoted last week, ask how much their pay increased and how that applies to their retirement. The man ran a scam on the taxpayers, using our money to buy loyalty. Seriously, look it up!
