Yes, and eliminate collective bargaining for police unions

 @9BF2FHNSocialist  from Florida disagreed…12mos12MO

No

Many gay police men have helped me get shelter and resources and wouldn't arrest me of I hit toxic straight people in the homes that I live in Orlando understanding that those heterosexuals were toxic enough to bully me for my gay identity and in my belief LGBTQ police unions need to form and collective bargain against cases conservative heterosexual discriminators file against gay or transgender identities in areas of housing, education, and employment because many LGBTQ protections against discrimination and intolerance were over turned since Donald Trump held office. I don't sup…  Read more

Yes; each side must be heard as much as the other, both having similar or equal power in the court.

 @8PFPGTCDemocrat from Florida answered…3yrs3Y

Renegotiate contracts to give higher salaries and more benefits but less immunity from prosecution and stricter training and discipline.

 @7PTCG38Democrat from Wisconsin answered…9mos9MO

Yes, police unions' collective bargaining power should only apply to salaries and benefits for police officers

 @8W7VN3D from Oklahoma answered…2yrs2Y

No, but it should not be available to officers who have received another accusation of misconduct within a 2 year period, and the process for making a misconduct accusation should be online, with instructions posted on the door of each station and the bumper of each marked police vehicle.

 @8PFGPPL from Utah answered…3yrs3Y

Yes and No. Demilitarized our police but still find a good amount to protect our citizens regardless of race and gender.

 @8PFMY4C from Washington answered…3yrs3Y

yes, unions representing public sector jobs should not be able to bargain for the taxpayer's money unless the taxpayer votes on it

 @9DZC43NRepublican  from Texas answered…7mos7MO

No, but I do believe that the punishments for intentional misconduct should be increased.

Yes, collective bargaining for police unions should only apply to salaries and benefits for police officers

 @93YHGKV from Virginia answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. If they possess life-or-death power over the citizenry, then accountability cannot be constrained by biased institutions such as police unions.

 @98PJQFY from Nevada answered…1yr1Y

no, I stand with unions so abolishing police unions would be hypocritical.

  @VulcanMan6  from Kansas commented…1yr1Y

You can support worker unions while simultaneously being critical against harmful decisions/actions.

 @5VF56KFAmerican Solidarityfrom Pennsylvania answered…3yrs3Y

Cases involving misconduct should be investigated by a neutral, third-party government agency that does not have incentives to either find or not find misconduct.

 @8XDFFD8 from Utah answered…2yrs2Y

I have mixed feelings about this question. I feel that police deserve representation. But not at the expense that that they can commit a crime while in duty status and have protection from facing criminal charges. Police corruption is prevalent in the US. But city, state and federal government are training police to be biased, racist and interact with public with suspicion. That’s the bigger concern, how we train police to interact with the public. Reform needs to start at the top. It will cut down on an officers need to use collective bargaining.

 @8TKHXXZ from North Carolina answered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @8TMQCNCRepublican from West Virginia commented…3yrs3Y

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. The police officer must do all he or she can to protect the innocents that may be near by and that must include the suspected perpetrator him or herself. On the flip side, a dead cop is not likely to be much of a protector if the stuff really hits the fan so he or she must be at liberty to make some life and death dec…  Read more
