+1 this guys smarter than me, the only thing I don't agree with and I feel like a lot of people were interpreting was what I meant as officers buying their weapons. I didn't mean that the officers would be buying the weapons at like 50k for a carbine, I mean a .50 should be like 1k, a tazer 500, carbine like 10k, and buy their ammo, just some sort of cost that would match the current pay rate, as if there's a cop that's dying once an hour i feel there is probably a bigger issue at hand, and at the end of the day when theyre clocking off they can return the gun to the armory or in a locker, and either A. get their money back, or B. Put it in the locker for them to reequip tomorrow. and as for @Ash's question about the new cadet's and them being broke, I do believe there is an XP requirement for PD/SD and by that time they should be able to make enough money, to buy their weapons, and if they have to they can be someones passenger, until theyre able to afford their own vehicle. cus right now as is, What do cops really spend their money on? Food, radio, gloves, houses, cars, more houses to hold more 1 of 1's etc.
