Many people have difficult jobs in Oakland. Not all of them have lobbying power or unions to extract higher than market pay.

There is no universal concept of "market pay" which applies across occupations; only within a given occupation. The Oakland police are the only police available to examine in this particular "market"; there is therefore no basis for an argument about "market pay" in this context.
