Presidents of police unions forget who they work for in their violent rhetoric against us

[egbertowillies]

In the last few months, I have watched the head of two police unions display a brazing arrogance and bullying rhetoric towards those wanting police accountability.

To be clear, I am not anti-police. Hell, I got a police officer a commendation after a wrote a viral blog post about my positive interaction with him after being stopped for driving-while-black. I have always believed that people attempt to live up to their accolades so should we not try that?

1. Actually, police unions work for the police, not the public. While I am usually pro-union,

I think police unions are now making it less likely the taxpayers who pay their salary will want to support them. The are working against the best interest of cops on the beat.

2. I was raised pro union and still believe in organized labor but it stops with the FOP.

They have been an issue for a long time. Lots of hatred in the leadership of those organizations.

3. I'm very much pro-union, but the FOP is far more of a terrorist organiation than Antifa

It's the job of a union to advocate for employees against arbitrary administrative actions, not criminal ones. When the FOP goes down the road of organizing it's membership in support of jackbooted thuggery, they cease to be an effective advocate for their membership.
