If our highest paid city employees are cops does that mean we live in a police state?
These are the highest paid city employees in Chicago,
and as with most city government most of them are cops and firemen.
In most city budgets in Arizona the police get about 40 percent of the budget, with the fire department getting the next 20 percent. All other city departments then share the remaining 40 percent of the budget. I suspect those percentages are ballpark figures for most cities across the USA. Bottom line is most city government spending is on the POLICE, which would lead me to say we live in a police state!
