    $1500

    Think of it like DOD pricing but for local police departments. My broader point is that both sides of this graphic have massively underestimated the true costs of both professions, largely due to corporate profit inflation and captured markets.

    I mean hell, you can’t even buy a decent bike helmet for $125, do you think they’ll send police out in something less worthy than that?
