Currently, police unions are allowed to collectively bargain with government officials over the methods used to hold police officers accountable for misconduct. Proponents argue that collective bargaining stands in the way of accountability. Opponents of limiting collective bargaining argue that more intense criticism of police will disincentivize officers from doing their jobs resulting in crime rates going up.

Thee officer should hands to maintain their own liability insurance. Let the insurance company defend the officer.
@9HLC85JLibertarian 1yr1Y
No, however if the police union stifles the moral responsibility for the officers misconduct and attempts to negate the officers accountability for the actions committed, then the case should be brought to an impartial jury and the union should not have input.
@9FHPKDTLibertarian 2yrs2Y
Partially, I think union should review more and have less power over misconduct cases, however, they are necessary for the police force to effectively guarantee rights for officers.
@9FH53MXLibertarian2yrs2Y
