I understand narcos and criminals risking their life/freedom for millions, but G men are risking their lives for like $70-100k. Why?

Those are paper pushers scamming overtime. I am talking about government employees putting their lives in danger for a fixed salary. Do they like the rush and the action?

That’s probably a lot of money to most of them tbf. Also lots of mid-career cops push more like $200k with OTmaxxing and they can watch college football on their phones and retire with pension while in 40s or 50s depending on location. Late career guys can make like $400k.

they do it for the love of the game and probably feel pretty safe all things considered. if they get caught they just say they're law enforcement and that's usually the end of it. how many of these guys have actually been killed? kiki and?

also the riskier it is the more insane shit they can get away with. like if you're in the CIA running drugs or whatever, you're walking around with millions of unaccountable dollars and an expense account and private jets. your salary isn't great but you're about as close as a god on earth as it gets. and when it's over you can write a book, go on tv, and cop consultant money, or probably waltz into any high end federal desk job you want.

local cops hanging out with bikers is less glamorous, but it beats writing traffic tickets and responding to domestic violence calls all day.

You can eventually become a consultant or something, or do something prestigious like the Secret Service presidential protection detail.
