The police dept is already loathe to hold officers accountable, we don’t need a whole ass union protecting cops from people who already don’t want to hurt them.
I love unions, unions are great, more people should be in them. Just not cops. If all they were doing was fighting for better hours and pay I’d have no problem (acab aside), but police unions go to bat for violent cops who hurt people. Police unions fight to keep those violent cops in those positions of authority, paid by our tax dollars, with a gun, on the streets where their next potential victim waits.
Annnnd that’s why cops shouldn’t have unions.

Unions are not a bad thing, rightwing unions however betray all other unions and undermine the entire system.

That’s a problem for me.
