What?
How is he pissing off the police union. He's asking the chair of the police commission, Thiessen, to resign. The police commission is a civilian body, the person he's asking to resign is a lawyer, not a cop. Their role was to investigate complaints and evaluate (and hire) the chief.
Oh, and that police commission chair/lawyer just happened to go public and criticize the Calgary Police Association when it came to the rampant harrassment claims:

Thiessen also said the Calgary Police Association (CPA), the union representing the city’s police officers, has a “big role to play” in the cultural change and needs to “step up.”
“My sense is that the police association needs to engage in its own training and bring itself up to speed on gender and diversity issues within the service,” Thiessen said. “Feedback that we’ve heard is that female officers do not necessarily feel comfortable going to their association and having them advocate on their behalf.”

Thiessen is the one pushing for better change and criticizing the CPA for their shortcomings. No wonder they want him to resign.
