    The US needs stronger labor laws, if these guys were unionized (and the government wasn’t made to cripple them) they could be paid a living wage in the first place.

      The cops have the only union that will do everything to ensure they aren’t held accountable for anything. Think about it. Of all the industries that need unionization and the corrupt fascist cops are enjoying it every day.

      I’m a strong labor advocate, for everything but police. The police are the ones that are called to assault, coerce, and (historically) kill labor organizers. Those class traitors don’t deserve a union. And they primarily use their unions to keep their worst cops on the job far past any reasonable assessment of them as anything other than evil people.
