    Well, handing out traffic tickets and harassing citizens for pleasure isn't all that dangerous

Yeah, but that's not all cops do. I totally understand not liking cops, and sure, maybe in small rural communities that's the extent of their work, but in most major metropolitan areas the police do more than traffic tickets and pulling people over for being black.

My point is that $75k a year is not really that much for a job that does have a risk of physical injury that is greater than the average, say, desk-job worker. I would say $75k/year is a nice salary, but not a high salary and certainly not a ridiculously high one.
