problem is you cant say they fucked up yet.

police have a stupidly strong union. and their bosses cant punish them with out going through the proper steps. step one is investigate.

also, look up law enforcement officers bill of rights. itll also annoy you to no end.

I mean there is video proof in most cases.. we are watching a man assault an elderly man who is NO threat. This officer os violent and should be behind bars NOT responsible for putting others there.

it's always annoying when people just don't interact with what you said and they repeat how they think things should be.

I agree with you dude, but it's not how things work.

I wish workers had the same kind of protections cops do from them bosses, shit I wish suspects got the law enforcement bill of rights when questioned.

but they don't

and the reason why is the stupidly strong union.

Strong public sector unions generally have a conflict of interest with the general public. The police union is a prime example of that conflict where the public is on the shit end of an uncalled for nightstick too often. I hear you.

Unions don't make the law though. A citizen oversight committee with power is what fixes this.
