Why do so many conservatives believe unions are bad; unless they’re police unions? And people who believe “the government can’t do anything right”, believe the police are nearly infallible. The police are the government, “in the flesh.
That is a good point; they represent government, and when considering involving police into a matter understand that you are reaching out to the government (for better or worse). They have a role in society, but seem quite determined to expand it for economic reasons (just like teachers’ unions wanting to add bilingual and special needs teachers as quickly as possible).
