Rioting Is a Threat to Public Safety. Police Unions Are a Worse One.

1. Basic principle for all unions

No union member ever gets terminated. Unions will fight to their last breath to avoid having a union bother terminated. This applies to police unions, teacher unions, civil service unions, and industrial unions. It just might be that unions would recognize their "bad apples" and participate in the efforts towards their termination.

2. Police unions run just like the Mafia,

omerta and all. Bust them all now for that very reason.

5. The NYPBA is of the most vile and corrupt.

They openly show contempt for elected leaders (including Rudy G who gave teachers sizable raises [1997-98] after 20 years of extra resources going towards law enforcement) who do not bow down to them.

3. Reason is a Libertarian magazine. Just FYI.

The Jacobin article was interesting. I read it last year when they published it.

No one will answer me how they think private security forces making minimum wage will not be like Blackwater. I'm a patient person though.

4. Think Walker is sitting up there thinking:

"After all of this i'll gut the Police Unions, too."
