    While this is egregious, it’s not uncommon. The highest paid (including overtime) positions in pretty much every municipality are police. If they weren’t police, much of that overtime would be called racketeering.

        It’s easier and you make more money by being the legitimate source than by being the mob.
        Plus, who is gonna investigate you then?

        The mafias all went into legitimate business decades ago and we are seeing effects much later. I mean look into real Italian Olive oil and why no one buys it anymore.

        Corporations killing people and the mafias having their kids go to colleges to learn from them how to better profit, it’s a wonder we can’t tell them apart anymore.
