Police in the US have no responsibilities or duties.
They’re just a gang. Not even a government gang, since they clearly don’t give a shit what the government says or wants them to do.
Why the fuck do cops need a union to begin with? They’re the most protected class aside from rich fucks.

Outside of America, cops need a union because, when they don’t, we end up with a national police force that has the distinction of being the best-trained on the continent AND the lowest-paid at the same time; and without post-traumatic care or an organized legal fund against what is a remarkable stream of false-arrest complaints (which must of course be heard but so many are junk). Without even the shitty union they have to give them nearly nothing, these underpaid mental cases will leave the force either in a straightjacket, in a body bag or in handcuffs.
Let’s agree that this isn’t ideal.
In short, like every job, the employer is kinda treating you like shit unless you can bargain collectively. Let’s do ambulance attendants next.
Wake me up when there’s some sort of police reform.
