#5 - Hey, Why doesn’t he just call a Cop! Ooooooooooh

[oldsloguy]

A few posters on this forum, over time, have made posts about police throwing their weight around. I’ve taken them fairly lightly, giving allowance for a few bad apples, but maybe I need to do some rethinking about that.

What is a powerful public union to do when it looks like a city's busted balance sheet is finally forcing some fiscal reform? Naturally, buy a house next door to the city manager's and launch an intimidation campaign aimed at getting him to avoid any real fixes. At least that's what the police union of Stockton, Calif., did in 2011—with great success.

Show me a police department where there is a culture of misconduct and I will show you a police union.
