Why don't police strike?

They are subject to violence from protesters, slander and libel from the media and celebrities, and no backing from their mayors and other elected officials.
If cities want to defund them, why don't they take two weeks unpaid vacation and show them what that would be like?
I think I know the answer but curious what those in law enforcement (or related like prison guards and parole officers) have to say.

Because they are not pieces of shite who would actively make things more unsafe to prove a point
Public employees going on strike is disgusting. It should be banned.

Because it's mostly an easy job, they don't make enough to go without pay, and if they took 2 weeks off people would quickly realize how little we need them.

They do. Blue flu or slow response to calls to certain areas or pull back on patrolling. When Baltimore turned on the police they stopped going into certain parts of the city and stopped patrolling those areas. Those same communities ultimately begged them to come back.

Oklahomojr where did the policeman touch you?

You should call someone to get the help you need, but don’t deserve.

Nowhere. I look white enough to not really get hassled by them.

He is an ASU fan. That automatically means he is a dumb arse.

What's so hard about it? Granted the federal level isn't the easiest job but it's safer in a lot of ways than your local or state as well. Locals and state aren't exactly dangerous jobs though

A lot of places the legislature has made it illegal for 1st responders to strike. So their choice is literally quit or keep working.
Of course no law they saying cops have to respond to calls, nor respond in a timely manner. Those are usually policies, but not actual laws.

The police function will be performed, by the state or by the citizens. The citizens would be far more efficient. When the citizens are forced to start taking out the trash, are you going to call the police to have them arrested?

Let them strike. Union workers are usually replaced by scabs. In this case the scabs would be comprised of good old boys armed with heavy artillery and plenty of ammo. It would be like wild hod hunting season. No limits.

I don't call the police. Can't think of a single time it's ever helped me.
Victim of a crime, they probably aren't preventing and solving seems less likely than most want to believe

So we both agree the job is easy enough for anyone off the street to do the job well. See I knew this board was coming around

I vote we volunteer you for social worker response instead of police response.

It definitely isn't as tough as they try to make it out to be. 73% of officers go their entire career without ever having to fire a service weapon.
Cops are 5 times more likely to commit suicide than to be killed be a civilian. 48 cops killed in 2019. 44 shot and 4 killed by car.
228 committed suicide.
Lots of mental illness on police forces. Lots of alcoholics and wife beaters as well. Its really a profession that attracts a lot of trashy, low character, broken people.
