Animal Farm in real life through every generation. The dogs on the farm were the police.

This is why strikes are so important.

They remind the workers who’s side the cops are really on in the class war.

If this doesn’t tell you how much of the authority, your local police, are in the back pockets of corporations. Then nothing will.

Police are unionized lmao. Let’s break up that union and see how they like it. They should be on our side but the fucking cowards bent the knee. I’m not the least but surprised, it’s no longer the police but a gang of violent goons protecting the elite.

I wish the irony wasn’t lost on them as having the police as allies would do us all a lot of good.

I floated the idea to someone that we should make police unions responsible for any legal payouts when a cop is found at fault and there is a civil payout. The police won’t hold themselves accountable and they don’t even have to pay the fines. The tax payers do. Making the police unions pay would give them incentive to actually cut ties with bad cops.

I was told that was a terrible idea and the fastest way to bankrupt the police. I didn’t see the problem.

They’re not smart enough to take sides. They just do what they’re told.
