...huh? How do you think police "bonuses" and compensation work? They don't get paid more money for writing more parking tickets...

Most officers are lucky to get a desk toy and a $20 gift card for Christmas as a "bonus." Bonuses generally come either as a sign-on bonus to attract new officers (something we desperately need as incentive since the media demonizes cops and makes it unappealing) or for completing certifications. LAPD for example gives you a bonus for being a Spanish speaker. You can earn a bonus by being marksman certified or bomb squad or having another unique skill.

You're just regurgitating ACAB rhetoric because it aligns with the zeitgeist we're in right now.
