StealThisSheen 09/24/20 6:47:27 PM #57:	Inviso posted... I think I get what Red is saying. Since the police union is the police themselves (that is to say, the highest ranking commissioners and whatnot are all as involved as the lowest-ranking beat cops), abolishing the police union wouldn't really do anything, since the same people would still be the ones making the decisions, right? Abolishing the police union and doing literally nothing else, no. But that's never what Biscuit has been arguing. The argument is that while the police union is in place, they have the power to push back against any attempt to actually give them oversight and accountability. Anything you try outside of literally getting rid of the police isn't going to make a dent because the union will just fight it. Getting rid of the union is an insanely integral part in actually being able to enact the change that needs to be made. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
