There's another problem with the posted argument. It asserts that it's exactly because the police are poorly paid that they act unprofessionally.
The problem works both ways - nobody is willing to transfer more money to an organization that's acting professionally as well. Would you want to give an incompetent employee a raise, for example?
It's a chicken or the egg argument, but I admit I have bias for the latter argument - if they want better salaries, then they should act professionally first.
