Police Are Grossly Underpaid And Underappreciated

Tonight, on It's Real Talk Radio, we will be discussing the brave men of the blue. That's right, the police! As of the past 10 years, there's been tons of criticism of the "Boys in Blue" as Black men and women have been publicly humiliated, abused and murdered, on camera for the world to see. These actions have sparked huge outrage and protests all across the country and rightfully so. But what about the good cops who consistently do their jobs the right way and have never harmed anyone that wasn't necessary to harm? We can't let a few bad seeds spoil the bunch! That's why we have to have this conversation tonight!

There has been public outcry and a chant going around called "Defund the Police." Well there's a problem with that scenario. Who are you gonna call when you or one of your loved ones are in distress? Last we checked, Ghostbusters were fictional characters and The Avengers were off fighting Thanos. We all know if you take the law into your own hands and come out swinging and guns blazing, you're going to jail, so that's not the answer. Unless you're ready and willing to deal with legal repercussions, you'll be dialing 911 when you're in trouble! So how do you defund the very people you're gonna be calling for help?

It's preposterous how underpaid police officers are. The average salary of a police officer in America is approximately $58,800 but the range typically falls from $54,900 and $64,000. That's around 5 grand per month (before taxes)! These brave men and women put their lives on the line on the daily basis to protect and serve and this is how we compensate them?! This is absolutely mind boggling! They're already disturbingly underpaid, the least we could do is support and appreciate the good cops who represent their badge the right way!

Tonight, we are acknowledging and celebrating these brave souls.
