I have no idea what % police budget should be, but yes probably related to unions (i'm not anti-union).  Teachers in my parts also get 6 figures and a sweet pension.

I just don't see police budgets as part of the problem.  At least not in Canada.  I see a lot of accountability issues x

The average teacher salary in Vancouver is $67k; the average police officer salary is $102.6k.

I'm not sure what you're getting at though. You say you have no idea what police budgets should be, but if they are too high it's probably the union's fault, but you don't think they're too high---at least not in Canada---but you don't know anything about police budgets. But teachers on average make a little more than half what cops do, so maybe we should worry about them.
