@HeavenlyPossum I object to the idea that "cops are workers". Workers can be fired when they defy their bosses. Cops OTOH can bring down any mayor/civilian government who tries to tell them they can't do what they want to do.
Cops are organized crime, not workers.

@dalias @HeavenlyPossum Speaking of, are there even cop unions? You know, if we& give them the benefit of the doubt and try to see them as workers - where are the unions, to give them power to punch up?
Genuinely asking, cos we never heard of such thing existing.

@KFears @HeavenlyPossum There are "cop unions" but they operate as organized crime not as labor unions.
