The cameras would be a boon to the honest cops...who are the majority.

If so, why aren't police unions fighting to get the cameras?

[Bobalu]

Unions have always stood by bad-apple union members.

I don’t understand why they do this... nothing could convince me to shield someone who held a position of authority and was stupid, evil, incompetent..etc But them I’m an ordinary run-o-the-mill honest citizen and not a union goon.

Because police unions are all about power and could not care less about protecting honest cops.
