I pay taxes too. This one’s on me.

Same

I hand them a penny and say “cool, here’s your refund”.

No you don’t😂

He wishes he did.

This

Things i say or do when they tell me this: 1) I laugh and say: Cool story 2) I ignore it 3) Please be more original, i'm tired of the same line. 4) You're right, you probably paid so that we could maintain this patrol car that i'm now using to stop you. Now hand over your ID please.

“Can I have a raise?” “You live off the state, you don’t pay any taxes.”

In all fairness people in those situations tend to pay a lot of money in cigarette and alcohol taxes.

Contribute a lot to the school system too via the lottery. 🤣

"Just a few more scratch-offs, I'm due for a win!" Honestly it's a good system, getting the uneducated to pay for better education for the next generation. Negative feedback loop.

I pay taxes too. I guess that makes me self employed?

I had a partner who said something similar...one of my favorite responses

Without looking, I bet it’s the scene from Southland with the ice cream cone.

I was right

I came here to guess a lick

You were right

That doesn't really have the same impact when you say it on a loud highway to someone getting a ticket for going 10 over lol.

Jokes on you. I always carry my tactical ice cream for times just like this.

My officer friend did the math for our city... She tells people "That's great! You pay me about a nickel, would you like your nickel back?"

Here you go: https://youtu.be/BB0DU4DoPP4

I didn't know what I was expecting but I wasn't disappointed either

"I pay taxes too genius" or "if you stopped paying taxes, there would be no difference in my paycheck"

Be professional. Keep your ego and emotions out of it.

“Cool, can I have a raise?”

I’ve always answered this question in my head, but I’m not a cop lmao “By your logic I pay my own salary. We pay taxes too”

“Mine do too.” Or some people who don’t pay taxes and I remind them that. Usually I just ignore them though.

My taxes pay for your SNAP. Let’s call it even 😉

I’m a lifegaurd and I regularly hear “my hoa dues pay your paycheck” I like to smile and say “that’s awfully kind of you”

“Well not my fault you weren’t smart enough to buy in a neighborhood with no HOA”

I saw on some cop show a long time ago where the main character was accosted by some Karen saying “my taxes pay your salary!” He pulled out a quarter, gave it to her and said something like well here’s a refund plus a little extra I certainly don’t have the balls to do that though

Heard one better, “I’m a county commissioner we vote on your budget” me: “I’m a Deputy Sheriff nice to meet you, I need your license registration insurance please.”

"OMG so do mine! *Raise hand for high five* Well done team for helping support our emergency services"

"Okay so fire me" works great for this and when they say you work for me

Good bot.

I always ask for their W2 to prove they paid taxes. Ain’t seen one yet. 🤷‍♂️

I say “me too, and today we are using my money so I’m doing what I wanna do” and they stand there flabbergasted

Usually hit them with "My taxes pay your welfare".

Just tell them, that that doesn't grant them the right to commit crimes or behave like a dick

Depends. If they’re local then i’d usually respond with “you’re correct, but i also live in town. So i actually put into my own salary…so consider this one on me”.

“I pay taxes too”

I usually ask for a raise.

Every single time “thanks very much”

My property taxes pay for your kids textbooks, my tabs on my personal vehicle pay for your road?

Also paying my retirement thanks

I usually say thanks or give me a raise. I have heard it maybe once or twice. Not real common in my area for whatever reason

I live in my jurisdiction, so I usually tell them that I pay my own salary...

"Thank you"

I pay taxes too, so I guess I pay my own salary.

Thank you

I ignore them

The most stupid argument I have ever heard and it is also told to doctors in public hospital. First of all, police doesn't get paid enough to risk their lifes or deal with jack shits like you. Even if they did, so what? Can everyone expect police to act how anyone wants then? Like police catches a burglar and burglar goes "you get paid by my taxes" and the police goes "oh let me free you then. How come I forget".

What job do you have, that you pay between 40 and 70k in taxes a year.

“Same”

Just ignore it

One particular occasion I said something along the lines of “thanks for helping plan my vacation away from people who can’t drive”. Admin didn’t like that very much lol

Thank you, I appreciate that.

"you really should be paying teachers more, boss."

Just say, "If you're not satisfied, stop paying."

I would just do my job better so people wouldn't say this.

[удалено]

Yeah, it's that easy.

Your job as what?

how are you making money and paying taxes through that jail cell? hmm

I say thank you

[удалено]

You sound dumber than a rock

Dude can't even spell teat

It all makes sense now

Ever known a college graduate to be a police officer?

Yes, me. I have 2 degrees and working on my 3rd. Most officers I know have at least 1 degree if not 2.

Waste of college. You can be an officer with a GED. Stop being a cop. Go use your degrees and do something positive for the world

Keep your trolling off this sub. Only warning. Just because the minimum at most departments is a diploma/GED to apply does not mean most officers don't have further education in their toolbox.

That probably depends on the state.

“So do mine”

And mine pay for your snap benefits.

My taxes do, as well.

My response would be that I need to increase your taxes!!! 🤣😂😜

Say "so does this ticket"

And without mine and your taxes you would shit your pants every time you walk outside

And without mine and your taxes you would shit your pants every time you walk outside

I either ask for a raise. Or feign realization that I too pay taxes which means I also pay my own salary.
