I will state I am pro law enforcement. I am also anti public sector union. There is not a conflict in my stance.

It is not may. It is mostly falsely accused cops. I know this for a fact!

It's not politically safe right now for some of the mayors etc. to be too police-friendly but remind me again, who is the boss of the police departments? They're going to quietly say nice words just like they always do and not reform the police in any significant way.

Don't fall for rhetoric. I've seen it for 30+ years in places like Chicago.

How come its all the pubs sticking up for the police in liberal cities run by liberals and controlled by liberals. The police are a product of the liberal in those cities.

I believe you.

It is the "mostly" part that I have issue with regarding public sector police unions.

A better question is why do liberals not stick up for the "liberal product" of police in their cities?

Bad cops are indeed a product of liberals in those cities, as they are treated as the enemy by city management and citizens. Of course some are going to act out, or engage in the corruption they see as normal in blue cities.

If "pubs" didn't generally stand up for the police in liberal cities, nobody would.
