1. Can we send a "lockout notice" to the Baltimore Police "Union"?

It pains me that while legitimate unions being hounded out of existence,
so-called 'police unions' are fat, happy and have lots of clout in local
communities.

Oh, that's right. They carry guns and billy clubs. Never mind.

2. Police are supported by Republican voters, that is why. They have the benefit of support from both

parties.

3. They've totally lost the support of this life-long Democrat. nt

4. I should have said "unions" are supported by Dems and police are supporter by GOPers so they have

support of both parties.

5. Not to spit hairs

but I think you were actually right the first time.

Real labor unions are supported by Dems. who get hood-winked into believing police "unions" are real unions, so they support them blindly, along with ReThuglicans.
