A lot of people are unaware of how much public servants actually make. Whether it be LEOs,Firefighters, Public Works, or Garbage men. That's why many have mandated its record to be public.
LOL at MFPIC.

Hmm. I guess I don't see that as a red-flag issue considering the cost of living in certain areas, even for a regular officer. The job does come with an exceptional amount of personal risk-- how to monetize that is tough, but there is wage expense in recruiting and retaining GOOD employees, and I think it's absolutely the kind of profession that should come with overtime.
I think most public employees are "adequately compensated" - and that the profession of being a Police Officer should absolutely come with a living wage.
