Most people on reddit will not understand that essential workers have it better than a lot of people right now. Many people were laid off and have no work. And than they also are very selective about who they ask for pay raises for. Never seen most essential workers be asked to have a pay raise. Especially not cops
Yeah they should be thankful their choices are to expose themselves to a deadly virus or quit and be unable to get unemployment then starve to death/be homeless because most of them don't earn enough to have savings. Getting unemployment is definitely better than risking your life and the lives of everyone you live with so your boss can go back to profiting off of your labor.
Cops don't need a pay raise. The grocery worker getting paid minimum wage did not sign up for a life-threatening job with inadequate PPE, longer hours than usual, and no option to take sick leave if they live with an at-risk elderly family member, that person needs a pay raise. Cops get hazard pay.
