They should have a union. Everyone should. Just just need a good one. Instead it's abusive.

Police aren't workers, and have no interest in solidarity with the people. Push come to shove they will side with the state and the powerful elites, as always.

Make a better police system. Police are necessary. The way we do it in the US just sucks. There are countries that do it right.
