At what point will police unions across the country say enough is enough?

Praising Alton Sterling as a saint who was gunned down while doing tricks with his yo-yo has got to be one of the more demoralizing things for the local cops to hear.
Crys across the country for cops to show more compassion and restraint while getting drawn down on...I cant imagine fulfilling the duties of my job under this level national scrutiny.
Will unions start to strike?

Hopefully soon, although the better tactic will just to withdraw from bad neighborhoods and sections of town.
Since they don't trust cops and all...

they should all go on strike

I think they'll demand more pay before striking. Honestly, they should.
What would happen if they were to strike though? You can't send the National Guard everywhere.

Parallels white flight/gentrification. Damned if you, damned if you don't. Might as well keep on keeping on

They just gonna start shooting Errebody.

Hopefully for the safety of the country that doesn't happen, they should totally just stop going into the black areas though. A lot of the projects in Nola the cops won't go into, sucks for the few good people living in those areas but oh well.

The first thing the police unions need to do is stop covering for the bad apples when they do screw up. You give them proper representation, but if they have acted improper they should be fired.

I think it's well past time to strike.
They've showed enormous restraint.
Especially in cities like Memphis where their bosses were marching with protestors.

They should quitbtheir jobs. Just like white military members. Why are you working for a state that doesn't like you?

What good will striking do to solve several much larger issues that can't be solved over night? It isn't like this is about dental insurance. There are some deep issues at play on all sides. A strike over this is a joke. I'm pretty anti-union, and I think police unions are some of the worst. They make it hard for the good cops to get respect because the unions take up for the shitty cops.

I think some of them are getting close to that point...

"You're a grown arse man, and you claim you were too emotional to know it was wrong? Think we'll accept your apology? Kiss my arse," Loomis told TMZ.com.
quote:
Loomis called Crowell's Instagram post as "offensive as putting a picture of historical African-American men being hung from a tree in the '60s," adding that if Crowell doesn't go to Dallas and make a donation, "I will pull Cleveland officers, sheriffs, state troopers out of First Energy Stadium this season."
quote:
If none of that happens, Loomis said he will resort to rallying his officers to refuse to work security for the Browns by adopting an "official union policy" not to work security for the team.
"If the Browns don't think I can get this done, I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell them," Loomis said.

Not a formalized strike, because they may suffer political repercussions at the whim of the local mayor or parish president. I think the nation needs to be swept with an epidemic of the Blue Flu. I bet after a few days of no cops at work, people will be motivated to find a "cure".
I'm astounded that there are actually people out there who think we don't need police. There are certainly cops who are assholes, but if you dealt with the dregs of society on a daily basis, you might also become an a-hole. I know they chose to become cops and they knew the pay wasn't great when they signed up, but it's not an easy job. At best, you have to deal with rude people. At worst, you have some psycho trying to kill you.

Won't matter if they strike since sheriff deputies are not unionized. It would just double or triple their work load in some cases.

Their leaders ripping their gonads off and beating them with them on national TV, but hey, where else can one get such a rewarding job that pays so well?
I'm very proud of the many professional LEO's I've met over the years. Even the hardasses that wrote me a ticket. If their Unions won't rebel against the Democratic Party scolding, then the rank and file need to vote out their Unions

Soon I hope, the patience they've showed so far is incredible.
