Police unions maybe?
I wouldn’t blame the police unions, much. A union acts pretty much like a defense attorney. It’s the union’s job to advocate for the membership, just as an attorney advocates for his client.
The majority of the blame goes to the politicians who set the ground rules, and who accept stupid rules in the union contracts.
And give another slice of the blame to the police brass. They often find it easier to look the other way when a bad cop surfaces.
The same way corrupt politicians stay in power. The police are just another department of government. Conservatives really need to understand this simple fact. There are not just a few bad apples in government. There are barrels of absolutely rotten apples and the police are no exception. Logic should tell you this but conservatives hold on to the belief that somehow putting on a badge purifies the soul. If that were the case then the FBI would be the purest of all, are they?
Democrat anti gun police unions indeed.
Funny how this article picks and chooses their examples of police abuse. Nothing about Chicago, about corrupt mayors like Lightfoot hiring yes men through covid vaccination nor about DOJ chummy prosecutors…
...who support Democrats almost exclusively. You were SO close!
Unfortunately, unions of all types keep bad employees from being fired.
Yep, Chauvan was a big union guy at Mpls PD. When the tides turned, he got burned by his own petard.
If you think gangbangers and mafia have the means to intimidate and silence witnesses, think of what the police can do.
Reporting this guy’s misdeeds is a career ending, if not life ending, action.
