Yes, the question was rhetorical and my point was the irony of it all. Front line workers are worth far more than they are paid, while actors in movies don't contribute anything near the same level of value (in my opinion, though others may well disagree with that view). If that doesn't make sense, we each should consider that the next time we need to call a cop or call an ambulance for some immediate and crucial emergency.
What you have said holds equally for sports figures. They are just getting a fair slice of a rather huge pie. My whole point is simply about what our culture values, and I was hoping that would have been clear. Next time, I will write more and spell out my point very clearly instead of insinuating it and hopping people get it. My fault for not doing that this time.

Rhetoric ...humor as well... don't always come across well online! It would be great if those making money off the portrayal of front-line personnel would donate a portion of their earnings to support the real-life people out doing the jobs, but humans are greedy and a lot in that group are not fans of the LEO they portray though the majority of LEO aren't like the bad apples that get the news.
