re: High school indefinitely suspends football players for carrying Thin Blue, Red Line flags

There is some good counter arguments about law enforcement being political. I'm a fireman, love police, see them protect us in ems, deliver first aid before we get there, and overall are great to work with. Then comes the unions. I'm in the minority in my department not in a union, but when police and fire unions start backing political candidates it's a bad look imo. Even all these police unions backing Trump I don't care for, especially the more I think about it, and I'm a Trump guy.

I understand unions of a police department is supposed to be separate than the department in itself, but that's not how it looks to the general public. Police and Fire unions need to stop backing political candidates. I don't think police and fire as they are, are political, but, when you add the unions, it makes it that way. That's just my opinion.

I'll also agree my understanding of unions isn't great, so maybe someone can educate me if I"m wrong on my line of thought. I'm only political on here, irl I don't pay much attention, and definitely don't care for getting into politics with my work. I just wanna make runs, teach someone stuff, and go home.
