Let the taxpayers bite it and see how fast those in office are OUT.
Chicago is one to observe. Time after time, the replacement top / chief's have yet to correct the dire situation. I'm amazed it continues to worsen. Until a massive sum is paid out to a victims family and the union admits and agrees to no longer protect cops of this lacking professionalism or skill sets, nothing will change.
As for police compensation whether low or high, they should be expected to be professional and have stellar skills and judgment at all times. No excuse - they have the highest responsibility in carrying a gun and deciding when to use it.
