Q: How much money you get when your paycheck rise when your a police officer?

A: You're a good kid, Nelson. You have all the makings of a good cop.

But it's time you learned some cold, hard facts about police work.

We get paid to keep the peace. We prevent crime and arrest suspects and occasionally settle disputes. We also write a lot of reports.

If we do all this well, and we kiss the right ass and have the right last name, we can get promoted. With promotion comes the money. That's how we make our paycheck rise.

Despite what you may have heard, we don't get a bonus for every drug dealer we kill.

Especially when the drug dealers in question are pharmacists.

I know you took it hard when your wife overdosed on sleeping pills, Nelson. But she had a legal prescription for them. No one broke any laws. No one murdered her.

She took her own life.

Simply because she couldn't stand to be with you for another moment.

She explained it all in this note. You might want to read it. It is addressed to you.

You should probably give me your gun first.
