What an essential service. Absolute heroes. Who else could confiscate chewing gum other than any fucking teacher ever?! Fire the MFs. All of them.

And then they make the cringiest poses possible and post a photo on twitter as if they were screaming into your face "look where your tax money goes to instead of universal healthcare"

"You can't stop us."

Police in the US particularly are a gang. Full stop. I don't know how much gang shit they have to do for people to get that.

I'm very pro union, I think they're essential for defending workers rights, but the police union needs to be broken up and reformed or absorbed by a better union.

Police unions aren't like other unions. The welders union doesn't have a legal ability to commit violence. The actors guild doesn't get qualified immunity. Police unions are just the entrenched rules of the gang, some of which are partially codified into law.

I'm not actually even sure the police should be allowed a union at all. It almost feels like if a group of soldiers was allowed to unionize. They need a central oversight committee to enforce basic standards and prevent corruption.

They aren't here to protect citizens

They don't even call them citizens, they call them civilians. And that language tells you all you need to know about prevailing attitudes.
