    Yeah our cops suck. Their union is a rare exception to my pro- union stance; they’re so damn corrupt that they’re effectively a second government that works like the mafia. Even more than most cops do, that is.

      Police unions are not labor unions, because police are not labor. They are the ruling class’ enforcers, which is an entirely different category.

      Ironically the issue is they can’t strike.

      So like, when bus drivers “slow strike” they run their routes but don’t collect fares.

      When cops “slow strike” they keep showing up to work, keep getting paid, they just don’t do their job. And that causes crim to go up, which increases their budget, and their own overtime.

      After George Floyd, they just haven’t really stopped the “slow strike” they only enforce things they want to. Because the more crime, the more overtime.

      They have zero accountability even though we have a system set up for federal government to hold police agencies accountable. trump and Biden just refused to use that system except with the most high profile cases that get national media attention.
