The labour movement has always been one of the biggest proponents for racial equity and civil rights in general. I don’t know how one could try to argue that getting rid of or reducing Unions wouldn’t do more harm than good for any people who’ve been unjustly marginalized by society.
Getting rid of police Unions does nothing to address the systemic issues that leads to officers being acquitted of criminal charges for their misconduct. The Unions don’t control the laws that lead to these acquittals. I’m not even sure that the Unions would be involved at all in the event an officer were to be criminally charged as that would not be a labour relations matter but that’s a whole other discussion. In any event, Union or no Union, until the laws are changed officers will continue to avoid being held accountable.
You’re scratching the surface of the problem so instead of taking the opportunity to grandstand with the Fox News or Rebel media flavoured anti-Union rhetoric of tinfoil hat conspiracy theories and factually inaccurate statements, try to keep digging and you may actually come up with some solutions to the real problem.

I swear if the word union is ever typed into this forum anywhere you get an instant notification and roll up immediately. I definitely don't agree with your view point on them. But I do love it that anytime unions are mentioned your bound to show up within a few posts and defend them no matter what. Not being sarcastic either. I genuinely look forward to seeing you pop up when a union is mentioned literally anywhere in this forum.
