Blaming the police unions is getting the cause and effect backwards.

We have lots of states where public sector unions are toothless, and guess what? The police are just as unaccountable and cruel.

The states with strong and evil police unions don’t have evil and powerful cops because of the unions, the unions are evil and strong because the cops are evil and strong.


It’s not like Texas or Alabama have less corrupt cops because their unions are a joke.

this sounds like a charge that will only be used against cops that report illegal stuff for “not reporting it sooner”

a law that required cops to confront other cops would lead to way more killing once the "I AM THE LAW" Judge Dredd poo poo was turned on itself

Officer Porkins has a gun and will kill you because you are trying to tell him literally anything when he has unquestioned power over life and death
Officer Punisher is also The Law and once he has made a decision no man or god can question him, Porkins is violating Punisher's sacrosanct Judgement

Sure 99% of them would just ignore this small measure of accountability the way they already cover for eachother's crimes but there would be some of those "BECAUSE I SAID SO AND WILL KILL YOU" conflicts playing out.

I do ‘t think anyone’s saying the unions are to blame, just that cops shouldn’t have them. Just like how guns are cool and good but cops shouldn’t have those either.

Right, I don't feel any particular solidarity with the "Murder Black People Union". That doesn't strike me as valuable labor.

they will defend members in dangerous and injurious workplace accidents, yeah. most union positions arent public facing though, certainly not public facing in the way police are.

I hate the "we just need to get rid of qualified immunity" takes so much. Just a complete misunderstanding of what's happening here. All qualified immunity did is codify what has always been de facto law but they think it was just one big oopsie that let the bad apples take over.

I stopped keeping track of the twitter-files threads but taibbi's in my feed & this latest one is a banger.

twitter was being told by a CIA op to take down accounts bc they were russian ops unfavorable to u.s. interests, while the op was also feeding bullshit "news" to media outlets that reflexively repeated it.
