I don't want my brilliant readers to think I have a carte blanche hostility to unions. I don't
I have great sympathy for police and prison unions. The public has an ill informed-sandbox view of the world.
The evil people that the police and prison guards have to deal with daily are almost universally sub- human. The police and guards have to live in the evil criminal world and rapidly become immune to their sub-human surroundings. Occasionally the police have to respond to the evil creatures in whatever manner is available.
When the public learns about the treatment of those criminals creating the awful events, the public reacts ignorantly, inappropriately.
That is where police unions enter the fray to protect the decent police who behave appropriately given the circumstances.
How much of the public knows the extensive world of feces that criminals inhabit? They frequently shit on the carpets of the homes that they rob. They usually cover their prison cells with feces, and often themselves. The public is ignorant of this common criminal behavior.
The public also has no idea that an ordinary sized man on PCP requires 6 policeMEN to hold him down, while he spits at them. Tasers are a joke in these circumstances.
Thank goodness for police unions. Death to the few Black Lives Matter fools who wreak havoc on the lives of the many decent blacks.
