        This is one of the central weaknesses to unions across the board. They often be resistant to reform and change.

        All unions are the same way. How about the teachers union?

        How many teachers have killed, tortured and maimed students? Cops in the US do it daily. And they get away with it.

        I see hate in this man's face. It's a universal look.

        Maybe the unions, rather than taxpayers, should pay police misconduct settlements.

        If a cop crosses the sacred Blue Line then they are considered a rat/snitch. Their lives would be on the line.
