    It is incredible how powerful the police union is. No other job is as well protected. I’m in a union and there are dozens of things that are instant dismissals. Assault, sexual harassment, and theft are all things that will get you walked out the door without warning. It’s amazing a police officer can assault someone while working, be convicted of criminal charges, and then keep their job.

      This also makes it baffling that the cops seem shocked when the public don’t trust them.

      Under 10 percent of officers convicted of sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and sexual harassment were fired. How on earth could they possibly defend this?
