Nikkaz mad at cops making bank with no education? Then go be a cop. Could not pay me any kind of money to be a cop.

Canada pays government employees a lot of money. It is what it is. I say go work for the gov and get a slice of the pie.

 

[Maschine_Man]

Cops in us make 25k-50k on average

Average cdn cop makes 75k

Average Ontario cop makes 90

80% of Toronto cops topped the sunshine list

and?
I'm not sure what point you are trying to make.

Canadian Cops get paid more?
cool,
they are also trained better, and held to a higher standard then American cops.

But the job ain't for everyone. I mean the Canadian Military pays more than Americans too...you can also join them if you want (Privates START at like 35K, and after 4 years making 50K or more)

Government jobs is where its at. Get in to a Gov't job and you'll be . Plus they got one of the most secure jobs in Canada. Its so hard to fire them smh.

Guess you don't realize how much of the city budget is gone to pay for cops

Point im. Making is these pigs are at the trough,NP wonder this city is so expensive to live in.

All the greasy pigs making 6 figures while everyone else starves

I work for a hospital breh, youd be shocked at hoe much money is wasted.

And only reason it's hard to fire is because of the Union, but if they want you out you'll be canned still.

you know why Toronto is so expensive to live in?
because its also one of the safest cities IN THE WORLD. You can put cops down all you want, I don't care, I don't know any personally. But I know they are a necessary evil.

All those starving ppl can join police force too if its that easy, or go joing the military or some other government funded department that doesn't require you to have a unviseristy degree to make a good living wage.

my wife is an RN, I know how much money is wasted in the hospitals, she tells me all the time. But she also gets paid pretty well and puts in OT. She's making over 110K every year with only a bachelors degree.



Problem is ppl are too stupid to actually research what they want as a career. Like what is in need, what they pay , and where are all the jobs located.
Instead ppl would rather get a stupid Arts degree and wonder why they ain't making the "big bucks" like the cops are.

All those starving ppl need is...

What are the minimum requirements I should meet before applying to become a police officer?
The following are the absolute minimum requirements you would need to meet prior to applying to be a police officer:

• Minimum age 18 or 19 (varies by police service and/or province)
• Canadian Citizen or permanent resident/landed immigrant (varies by police agency)
• High School Graduation - some agencies also request one (30 credits) or two (60 credits) years post secondary education, or a combination of equivalent work experience and education
• Certified in Standard First Aid and CPR
• Hold an unrestricted Drivers License with a good driving record
• Excellent physical condition
• Uncorrected vision of 20/40 in one eye and 20/100 in the other; corrected vision of 20/20 and 20/30 (or 20/40) - [Vision requirements may vary slightly by police service, for accuracy check with the police service of your choice]
• No criminal convictions for which a pardon has not been granted, and no criminal charges pending before the courts
• Be of good character and possess high moral and ethical standards

 

[MikelArteta]

No one said there not needed

But at the price they ate being paid its disgusting and unaffordable, a city can't continually afford to spend a billion on a police force when 70% of that is salary

I'm not bashing anyone without a degree, hell I got my first job years ago thanks to a colle diploma and the co op it offered.it's been all experience since


My dad made 80k a year for over 40 years with only a 6th gr education as a welder

Cops make way to much and are a strain on the budget everywhere

Cops make way to much and are a strain on the budget everywhere

is 75K(on average) really that much money to get upset about though?

Firefighters get paid even more. "Toronto firefighters have a baseline salary of about $90,000, but most make over $100,000,"

Paramedics get paid similar. "Paramedics in Ontario in such regions or cities as Ottawa, Toronto, Peel Region, or Durham, will have an annual salary starting from $70,000 to $90,000 as a Primary Care Paramedic, an Advanced Care Paramedic salary can on average range from $75,000 to $96,000, and Critical Care Paramedics range from $100,000 to $115,000"

I mean, first responders ain't an easy job. I know its cool to look at ppl from the outside and say they don't deserve it. But majority of ppl wouldn't do it.


I just think you need a reality check to what the rest of the world is out there making.


its not really that disgusting and unaffordable, if their job is providing the quality of life that making making the city grow.

Has anybody here gone to one of these? I went on Friday night, it was fun...

Any tings? Only reason I'd go

 

[MikelArteta]

Firefighters and EMTs dont have a budget of over a billion a year, keep quiet as taxes continue to sky rocket brehs


The police force is bloated, overstaffed and overpaid.

Let me guess your OK with carding and the siu clearing everyone

police, firefighters and EMT's are the last thing you should worry about when it comes to terrible spending and tax spending though.

of course I'm not OK with carding or any of that nonsense. but I am down for having low crime rates and safe neighbourhoods for my kids.

you can always move to winnipeg if you want lower taxes.....

you can't complain about living in a world class city with lots of amenities, and its also one of the safest and most diverse places in the world and not have to pay for it bruh.

and with that being said...Toronto isn't even the most expensive place in Canada to live.

I want to be a firefighter, is the profession generally racist?

I know it's hard to become one, but how hard?

Yea, if you are gonna cheap out and pay some professionals less money then police are literally the last I'd put on the chopping block. I know what it's like to live in a country / city where police are payed peanuts - it is not pretty. You want to make it as difficult as possible for corruption to fester. Plus symbolically think of what it would mean to pay officers peanuts, here you have a group of people who are supposed to uphold the law (the law nikkas!) and we as a society have decided that they aren't worth paying six figures or whatever rate it is that's been arbitrarily decided against. & keep in mind officers in TO are already used to riding the gravy train - cut their pay significantly and you will be met with nothing but animosity.
