Currently, police unions are allowed to collectively bargain with government officials over the methods used to hold police officers accountable for misconduct.

A criminal is a criminal period. Police officers that act and chose to make decisions that criminals make then they’re just as bad and they are no longer a police officer their a criminal. Police officers are no exception to the law.
@8TMQCNCRepublican4yrs4Y
You are assuming a fact not in evidence here. You are saying a criminal is a criminal but the situation is not necessarily one in which you clearly have a criminal act on the inspection of one and it's for the courts and juries to decide if there has been a criminal act.

i'm pro union, but the police should be run directly by the government

police unions are fine as long as they are not being used vindictively

I believe everyone should have the right to unionize, but it starts to become an issue when they are unionizing in order to avoid accountability
@99CZZ652yrs2Y
im not gonna lie idek what the question is asking
@98CNXMM2yrs2Y
No, there have been too many crimes with police doing more harm than good and never being held accountable. Plus any time a police officer is held in any crime they should automatically release body cam footage to the public. No questions asked.

This question makes absolutely no sense to me.
