This strikes home even here in Calgary, where our own force voted in that POS Les Kaminski. It’s systemic, and not exclusive to the States.
Here is the thing, I understand the need and benefits of Unions, but they've far outgrown their purview and mandates and effectively become mafias.

We dont want Police officers being constantly thrown under the bus after every incident or controversy but we dont want them to be immune either.

And lets not pretend otherwise. The protection offered to Police under their Unions and CBAs is effectively immunity. They are genuinely 'Above the Law' and it took an entire country rioting to get a murdering Police officer charged.

There has to be balance and at the moment there isnt.
