The Police Officer that killed George Floyd had 18 complaints against him and he was disciplined twice. Why wasn't he fired? The Public Union protected him. It didn't matter that he had complaints of being rough including to white people.

Derek Chauvin probably didn't keep his knee on George Floyd because he was black, but rather because he had a history of being rough to everyone and the Public Union was fine sweeping it under the rug until he killed a man.

As a teacher I will point blank say that Public Unions protect bad teachers and give bad teachers who did little the same pay as the best teachers who work their butt off.

Even FDR opposed Public Unions for the corruption.

Many Public Unions have set up their own health insurance corporation that the union owns, forces a monopoly with the school during collective bargaining and then overcharges above fair market value for the health insurance coverage - kicking back the largesse to high pay incomes for union leaders and favored (democrat) politicians' campaigns. They can even run these health insurance companies as not for profit while raking in mega bucks and doing this.

Here we go with the right wing spin machine:

“Floyd was killed because of evil labor unions.”

“Floyd was killed because Minneapolis has a Democratic mayor.”

“Floyd was killed because his parents didn’t spank him enough.”

“Floyd was killed because of feminism.”

Etc.

So you are saying a cop with 18 complaints and 2 disciplinary punishments should have been allowed to stay on the force?

You are fine with the public union protecting a cop repeatedly accused of being to rough with suspects?

Do you think FDR is right wing?

Great read on how Public Unions protect and lead to bad cops.

Chauvin who killed Floyd is eligible for $1 million in benefits even if he is found guilty of murder.

how about un ion s for teachers where they can molest kids and still work? try LA school where they ship them off to a closed school and sit for years - never fired

or how about construction workers that get 40 bucks per on the check and another 30 buck in benefits to drive screws in drywall, hang sheet metal, nail 2x4's together and each worked gets the same weather he's a ball buster or a slacker?

Stop being obtuse. It was because of the union that nothing happened to him, and his complaints were not public record.

Get rid of the unions, you get rid of a LOT of corruption.

Stop singing the praises of the unions and then blather on endlessly about "omg, corruption, you guyz!"
