I am a Union man

My late dad was a Union man as was one of my uncles.
I have been a steward on three different occasions and almost always support my Union brothers and sisters. Because, without Unions, we are even more screwed than we already are. But...having said this, I simply cannot support the police unions across the country. The only thing they seem to be doing for their membership is making sure they can go out and kill more minorities. And as a conscientious (thank goodness for spell check) human being, there is no way I can support that. They are not my Union brothers. They need to clean up their ranks and weed out the bad people. Then maybe they'd get some support.
