My motive was shock that a police officer makes that much, that's all. This guy was the second highest paid City employee.
Having worked with Police Officers for 13 years, none of them even made close to that (only the Chief even made just over 100K), even with 20+ years of service.
I'm not sure the motive of including this fact in the original story, other than the author must have been shocked as well - and yes, I think perhaps it would be pertinent to the citizens of Baltimore that an out of control peace officer (allegedly) is the second highest paid city employee - it does beg the question of how this is possible (I suppose overtime plays a huge role).
