Liberals who want cops out of politics: start by eliminating their unions. Include the unions of all other public workers, right? *crickets*
@RadioFreeTom That said, cops have already gotten protection teachers haven't. @AllThingsHLS

@emptywheel @AllThingsHLS Including the unheard-of, unprecedented, astonishing, terrifying right to turn their back on a mayor's speech. -
@RadioFreeTom Also, the right to be represented by a union, which many public employees have lost. Also, to keep pension. @AllThingsHLS -
@emptywheel @AllThingsHLS Plus that turning-your-back thing, which is the very worst thing of all. -
@emptywheel @AllThingsHLS Wait, cop unions have been more politically effective than teacher unions? Stupid democracy. When will we learn? -
@RadioFreeTom Also note, MANY attacks on public unions have been profoundly undemocratic. But whatev. @AllThingsHLS -
@emptywheel @AllThingsHLS As are today's. But either silence all of them, or silence none of them. -
@RadioFreeTom Maybe we don't agree. Dems are doing what GOP have already done to every other union, only ,,, dead kids. @AllThingsHLS -
@emptywheel @AllThingsHLS Yeah. I have no idea what that means, but often, I kinda don't get you, so maybe it's me :/ - 10 more replies
