Police Unions: Rumble of Discontent

[DesertBerean]

If I read this right, the Seattle Police Union was kicked out of the major parent organization?

Yeah, I thought this would be coming --- the left wing of the Democratic party was even anti-police back in Hillary's campaign days.
So, the Democrats are beholden to Unions, and Unions always have to honor one another - respect the picket line of another Union, etc...

So "Labor" is definitely a "left" thing, but Police are "law and order" kind of issues for the "right", so something had to give.

Only those Police Unions who would maintain loyalty to "Labor" will be able to stand.

Mind you, some of the "Police Unions" are actually "Association of Fraternal Order of Police" or some such, and some are actually "organized labor" akin to AFL/CIO.

And since the left fringe of the Democratic Party is so into this DEFUND thing, Unions have become targets, as well. In some cases, I think that's GOOD!

Yup. Back during her 2008 run at one rally her crowd booed the police there on stage (nearly all political appointees and good liberals) causing her to scold them because, as she admonished, they were the good ones.

Maybe they were booing her? I can't think of anyone I'd rather "boo".

It's the only way the liberals can still support unions while opposing police.
